New York plans to replace snow days with remote learning next school year, and who knewI’m going to just paint a little picture that should jog memories for anyone who grew up: Your alarm goes off in the morning, but it’s still and quiet outside. The world is covered in a heavy blanket of snow that fell the night before. You and your mom turn on the local news and anxiously watch the ticker full of school names scroll across the bottom of the screen, until… Yes! Your school is closed.
Yes, that’s right — the state has decided that it will be replacing snow days with remote learning beginning next school year. While they’re at it, they may as well replace ice cream trucks with vegetable stands, and impose mandatory chores at the park. Seriously, can kids have no joy? Not even after the absolutely joyless year of pandemic they just survived? WTF, New York?“This is preposterous,” heThe end of snow days has united basically the entire internet.
Making kids do online school on snow days is the kind of plot a Codename: Kids Next Door villain would think up.
Patterson NJ schools had over 400 people joined virtual learning classrooms that were from other countries outside of the USA
In an even more stunning turn of events, parents everywhere say 'eff that!' and miraculously their internet isn't working on what used to be Snow Days! I'm in Canada. Unless it's over a foot of snow we continue usually as normal.
They will have to learn how to play in the snow then! Good grief - let them enjoy life
