As a sophomore, i love how schools prioritize efficiency over students mental health and basic humanity

[HarpscityIsHere]

One time it started snowing at school, and my teacher said:
"I know it's hard to focus when there's snow outside..."
I expected her to say "focus anyway", but instead she said "so why focus?" She turned off the lesson and let us out for recess early. I miss that teacher

[equinoxo]

Fun Fact: The US Air Force, assuming nothing critically important is happening and you arent already in an area that gets snow all the time, allows base commanders to call snow days for an entire base.

If the military gives its men snow days, they can give kids a snow day.

“Distance learning worked so well”

Half my grade failed the semester

[TheRealGuywithoutaMustache]

As someone who's never even experienced what it's like to feel snow their whole life, I fully support snow days and the purpose they serve.

As he said, think of the children.

[bethjacobx]

the best part about this is that Grey was a teacher and probably loved snow days when he was working too

[mrosskne]

Imagine creating an institution so horrific that children will literally pray for a single day of respite from it.

[hpvr]

As a teacher, I'm going to tell you now that we also love snow days. Sleeping in? No correcting? Able to watch Netflix all day? That is the best

[U.Inferno]

Grey as an adult, a teacher, and grown up child, fighting for everyone.

Such nobility

[lioneltribby]

I live in California and even with the lack of snow my school declares one day each semester a snow day anyway because the principal grew up in a snowy place and loved snow days as a kid. How great is that

[nathanbrady]

When I was in school, we had a superintendent who would rarely approve snow days. Until she crashed her car trying to get to the school on a snowy day.

[MyPhobo]

I think kids should get a set amount of personal days they can take. It might even make them feel like they have some kind of control over their own lives too.

[hiimgamerspruzzino]

The fact that Grey has been a teacher himself makes this even more important you see

[ScrabbleDiva]

As a teacher, I wholeheartedly agree. Snow Days are a breath of fresh air in a grueling school schedule.

[eggmon]

Lemme tell you. Distance learning didn’t work so well. The amount of “Sorry teacher, my internet isn’t working.” excuses used is UNBELIEVABLE.

[oliverspencer]

You'd think by now we'd learn forcing kids to sit still and listen only ever encourages them to completely zone out and learn less than they had if they took breaks and played

[besmart]

Laughs in temperate climate which never had snow days to begin with

[seanmurphy]

I feel like the larger issue here is how utterly soul-crushing school is to the point that any reprieve from it feels like a minor miracle.

[biomecraft]

As a person who grew up in a snowless city, I envy you guys who had them.

[flownaway]

At least here in Florida, they'll never cancel hurricane days. Except you can't play outside, your power's gone out, you're praying a tree doesn't fly into your living room, and all you have to eat is canned soup. 😭
