Walleyed: We got a few days off for the Blizzard of "66". I remember it well.Snow drifts higher than the telephone poles. That was a 5 day blizzard and I think we had three or four snow days off. Our ranch house in Syracuse was drifted in up to the roof line and snowfall total was 42.3 inches. Some places in Oswego county got up to 89.5 inches. I'm sure that was just a dusting to BOCO !!!!  w

Snow days are for snowflakes. Its a modern thing for the softie generations. There was never a school closed due to winter blizzards when I went to school And no school bus,walked 45 minutes to school each way all year starting in Grade two. Kids today are pusses. Yea,,yea.Probly had to wear patch quilt beavers skins too.Dolly Parton probly got her song" Coat Of Many Colors " after seeing you walk to school. HAhaahHaaaa

The kids don't have a union. Or parents that will stand up for them apparently. To bad ther are not more good union jobs. If there were fam could live on a single family income and mom could stay home and actually Rais the kids instead of having other people do it. I know some people that live the life you speak of. None are union. Who coulda thunk.

Shortens the school calendar. School can start later and/or finish sooner. Reduces food expenses and utilities and hourly labor costs. Reduces transportation cost and snow removal costs. Kids already have computers and teachers do as well. Our public education stinks anyway. It don't matter.

Just looking to get the school dollars one way or another they don’t care about the kids I imagine their homework might be to watch Rue Paul’s Drag Race. Nothing that Governor won’t ban. 
Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

From past ezperience, it only takes half a dozen flakes and SC brings to a halt anyways. Don't know about TN yet, but I am guessing its similar I remember going to school in Truckee California where it would take nearly 2 ft overnight to call a snow day I also remember sitting in a classroom in Clarksville Tennessee ( lived there a couple different times ) , it was raining outside and a couple of snow flakes ( not the libtard kind ) appeared in the storm and all heck broke loose . Buses were called immediately and school was officially out for the day .....lol

You must have girly winters where you live.Back in the early 90s,I got TEN FEET of snow at my house in five days.SIX feet of that came in a 24 hour period.Lot of roof shoveling that winter. We're smarter than you. When we get a lot of snow we just pack it down.

I just told you-read it again. Obviously get it from their parents. If they have to stay home because of a snowstorm like you all said-snowflakes. Just wasnt a thing back in the day but you wouldnt understand that,obviously.

You let my kids hear ya say that, they’ll put a knot on your head you can navigate with  It ain’t the kids fault, it’s the parents and teachers not doing their part. A kid is only as good as what he/she is taught. Your kids try doing that to an old age pensioner they would rue the day they met up with my tribe of grandsons.
