Have the children been to school at all in 2018?
Or does it just seem that January has been one big snow day so far?
What with the single-digit cold temperatures and the daylong snowfalls, January has meant days off school and two-hour delays. A kid's January dream come true.
The What You Said staff was wondering if if schools have gotten a little easy about days off for weather.
Of course, it's been a while since we were in school. In fact, we were reminiscing that, back in our day, we actually walked to school in 20-foot high snowdrifts, uphill both ways, in bare feet.
We understand that times have changed. Schools need to keep their students safety first in mind, and there's no point in needlessly risking injuries.
Still, we'd like to know what you think.
Are schools too quick to call off for bad weather? Or do they usually make the right decision on what can be a very tough call?
So our What You Said question this week is: Should schools be more selective about declaring days off for bad weather?
