It feels like we’re getting more snow days as winter becomes less of an event each year.
With respect to the eclipse, I don’t have a strong opinion on having the schools open or closed for it; I could go either way: open, and have an educational segment dedicated to watching it safely; or closed, and have the kids watch it with their families. But they should have decided when setting up the calendar for the year, and if they wanted the schools closed, just plunk a PD day on April 8 (PD days was actually April 10 which is a bit weird in the middle of the week). Then it wouldn’t have been a discussion point at all.
