March 5, 201313 yr QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Mar 5, 2013 -> 12:08 PM) your point? I'm not sure how "productive" soxtalk-posting is, just poking fun
March 5, 201313 yr QUOTE (Y2HH @ Mar 5, 2013 -> 12:12 PM) I sense a bit of jealousy on their part. Buh? I'm also posting on soxtalk?

March 5, 201313 yr Oh gawd, not the liberal made-up welfare king everyone hears about but no one really sees... Also, I love snow. If it's going to be cold, I'd rather it be snowing/snowey out.

I just don't think you should get that upset over it if it doesn't matter. I'll enjoy my day off but I'd rather have it in june.

Don't worry, you'll have it in June when you have your students do absolutely nothing on that makeup day in June. Let's not pretend that's exactly what happens in June, too. I went to school for years...and I don't think I ever did anything in June, regardless of makeup days. Ever.

Truthfully its never all that cold when its snowing. I never had a snow day off as a kid, and I walked to school through the stupid s***. However in the work world ive had probably over 20.
March 5, 201313 yr As a teacher who had a snow day it's really not a big deal. The day is made up at the end and the day off will be nice. Without having to commute home in this. I was just kind of surprised by it. Though my ACless classroom is going to suck that one extra day in June. I'd much rather trudge through a foot of snow to work than work a day in June without AC.
March 5, 201313 yr QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Mar 5, 2013 -> 12:47 PM) I was present for U of I's first snow day since the late-1800's. No, you weren't. I was, and you weren't there.
March 5, 201313 yr In regard to snow day child care. Whether school is called at 6 PM or 6 AM it is best to have a plan in place. "Oh they may cancel school tomorrow, what should we do." It is not like school is closed and there was no warning whatsoever. CPS does not cancel school for this very reason, the parents can not get people to watch their kids.

That day will be the last finals day. I could see this happening in elementary school.

I know, I'm just messing with ya. But in grammar school (or elementary school as you call it), it's probably what will happen the last few weeks of makeup time for the strike and other such make up days.

I never said I was upset, did I? I just said b****es on facebook be annoyin'. But I guess that's covered across the board.

This is relatively true most of the time; it is not true all the time, nor is it enjoyable being outside when it's below 0 and blizzarding.

March 5, 201313 yr I guess this thread proves that we live in the era of snobs. Apparently you can be a snow snob.
