My 2nd grader has missed 11 days of school.

Hey! You only an hour away from me! :) My kids have missed school too. And I am wondering is school will be canceled tomorrow because just as this system is moving out, another is coming in the morning. But I like the snow. :) I was born and raised in Florida but I didn't get snow days...we had hurricane days. And back when I was a kid, we didn't have many of those. I think the kids will be ok with their learning with the time they have missed. The schools understand and have already said that any testing needing to be done before the end of the school year will be extended so they have a bit more time. My daughter cam home the other day and said that they are considering tacking on 5 minutes to each class period. But that would just mean 30 more minutes for my elementary kids...for a month! Personally, I would prefer them to take away Spring Break. But I am sure that the teachers are already looking forward to it and they could have many disgruntled teachers if they did that. Then the other option is to extend the school year. I already heard on the news that they will not allow Oklahoma to not make up the days because Oklahoma is one of the lowest states already for required days of school. But then my son came home today from high school and he said there was a rumor going around that if we have any more snow days, the state will consider it a state disaster and they will not have to make up the missed days. But you know rumors...they usually aren't true. So, I guess we will just have to wait and see what they decide what to do. As for you little one falling behind. I wouldn't worry. The teachers are preparing to make sure that does not happen. :) Hang in there, we have one more day of snow.
