Snow Day
February 1, 2008
Homeschoolers don’t have snow days! Why do schools cancel? So parents don’t have to drive their darlings through the snow – OR- (more likely this time) so the school doesn’t get stuck with the kids over the weekend!!!
So why would a homeschooler have a snow day? We don’t have to drive to school!! I have no problem giving them a lighter day so they can get out in the snow. However, my children seem to think that it’s their RIGHT to get a snow day because everyone else does. That could explain their cruddy attitude this morning. But wouldn’t you think, that knowing that they can go out and play with friends when their work is done, they would hustle??
Whining is not hustling! GRRRRR!

My frustration is when my doorbell starts ringing at 9 am asking when the kids can come out. I run ‘interference’ until lunch and then the kids SHOULD be done — if they aren’t whining… It’s rain here — not snow today…

i do remember the snow days for the kids who “went to school”. we never took snow days on those days either (when we homeschooled). Now it is such a treat to have a snow day so i can have my girls home with me with no place to go!!

We live in South Carolina. If it snowed here, we would take the day off simply because it is such a novelty!
