Do you think that we have to replace snow days with our summer vacations?
Favorite Answer
Last school year (my 10th grade year), we used up all of our snow days for various problems not just including the snow (because yes, I do live in the north so we have about five, six days of built in leeway). However, because of past problems with seniors, we were all afraid the last month and a half of school that they would do something stupid (like the aformentioned tires), and that we would have to come back in after our State required tests and just sit in the building all day with nothing to do, as our summer vacation starts after the week of exams in the highschool (and these exams are statewide on each day and so can not be rescheduled). It turned out that nothing happened, but it had all of the teachers telling us not to do anything stupid like that the entire time, and had even the freshmen telling kids not to do something stupid, as after those exams there is no point in trying to learn anything new before summer. In fact, before the senior prank and everything, I had teachers saying that they would refuse to come in if any extra days were required in the highschool, and the general consensus was that we (the highschool students) would not be coming back if it happened, as a)you gonna round up a bunch of rebelious teens? and b)the school couldn’t force families to cancel plans because of it, and most of the students had vacations planned for right after the last day of exams.
So while I am a student and can see where you are coming from (I was amongst the group telling people how stupid it was that we would have to come back if the seniors did anything), I still agree with the super-intendant of your school in forcing you to go back during summer vacation. Unless you’re a highschool student in NY, then I fully agree with you.
No one can help what nature gives us during the winter months. Have a set day for school to go out, and close schools when that day arrives.
