whoever thinks this is a good idea really shouldn't be working in education. objectively worse than the grinch. christmas is still christmas but there's nothing like the feeling of getting a surprise day off AND a beautiful snowstorm

no-snow-day policy

why are people like this? surely teachers and admin appreciate the day off too? even if you have to add an extra day, getting out of bed for school sucks way less in the summer. my district prided itself on trying to call as few snow days as possible for some insane reason, even when plenty of other schools would be off.
