Tune into the fireplace channel, you absolute buffoon
If you aren't forced to go to school uphill both ways in the snow, you're losing out on important character building experience.

Our children is learning hate, hate of the vile system that would steal such precious moments. Or something.

I guess the thousands of underprivileged children without their own computer with a reliable internet connection can just gently caress themselves then.

I live in a pretty blue area and our school system handed out chromebooks and free Internet vouchers to any student that needed them during the pandemic. I suspect NYC does the same.

My dumbass opinions are only outweighed by my racism.

No one forgot that I exist to defend violent cops, champion chaining down immigrants, and have trash opinions on cooking.

In our area the school board has been pushing to build yet another new high-school campus, and the pandemic showed the residents that with a laptop and internet, that pipe dream is not all that necessary beyond a building for parents to send kids to be babysat for 8 hours each day. (And a laptop and internet for each student is arguably a poo poo ton more fiscally responsible)

Schools in snowy areas have an extra two weeks of class per year because they assume there will be snow days. Hopefully they reduce the school year to compensate.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?
It's not because of that lol

In a reasonable world, this is the correct answer if snow is genuinely that bad.

it's because they don't teach critical thinking and not because kids aren't ins chool long enough. Your post is a good example

Look to your left. Look to your right. Only one of you is going to pass this course.
If you are not being productive, or at least putting forth the image of being productive, then you are a waste. Fun is a waste of time. Playing is a waste of time. Smiling is a waste of time. We need to train children to work and be productive at all times at all costs. Welcome to hell.

drat right. the stress of having to rush out of the house to sit though another day of hell instantly evaporated and was replaced with hot cocoa and video games. the best ones were where the school was closed for an entire week

we had some psycho superintendent during my first year in high school though who bragged about not calling snow days, so there were a couple of days where the school was still open despite an ongoing blizzard with buses arriving 2+ hours late, one of which slid downhill into a ditch and had to be pulled out, half the teachers couldn't come in and every class was watching a video because conducting lessons with half the class and/or teacher missing was pointless. i guess he retired after that year because they got a new guy who didn't pride himself on almost getting kids killed in bus accidents

This is actually the reason this is a low key positive, if more places accepted work/learn from home models there wouldn’t be so many people put into ditches during awful weather because the person calling the shot doesn’t have a conflict of interest with safer decision hurting the school/business.

not to call bullshit but if cows were living in a building a for a week, that building would likely have to have been condemned, they would have flooded it would so much poo poo that it would have seeped into the floors and walls and been basically uncleanable, never mind cleaned up in a couple of days. At minimum everything would have to be stripped to the concrete and hosed down and scrubbed multiple times and even then it would have gotten into all sorts of little spots. Cows are disgusting poo poo-factories. Horses you could maybe clean up after, but not cow poo poo.




This is result of a couple cows that lived inside a house for a few days after a storm blew the door open to a newly-sold residence. Absolutely nothing is salvageable here, the house has to be torn down because the poo poo has seeped in to floors and walls, it would always stink and always be a biohazard.

This is from reddit and those cows were there for a month. Why would you even bring this up when you don't know what the gently caress you're talking about?

What the gently caress kind of joyless monstrous disgusting piece of poo poo would rob kids of one of the few pleasures afforded to them during the school year?

10 years from now: "research shows spontaneous play is more important to a child's development than a school day where their interest in being there is at its absolute minimum, due to staring at all the fun snow outside".
The response: "School on weekends!"
