that I HAVE to watch the school closings lists when the weather is bad. Seriously, I am compelled to sit in front of the TV until I see that whatever district we live in is closed. I am pretty sure that I will do this my entire life because my mom still does it, too, and she retired 3.5 years ago. :lol: Everyone here is out tomorrow for ice. We are staying inside!!
LOL thats funny. I often wonder what days the public schools are "out" for parent teacher conferences, etc.. I dont have a reason, other than I'm just nosey lol.
Not me. I only find out about those things when one of Catherine's friends shows up at our door wanting to play in the middle of a math lesson.
I watch to see if my grandson is out and if the teachers are out where my daughter teaches. Old habits die hard I guess.
I too have to know when if they are school closings. I get up and jump online to check. DH and the kids think I am nuts for doing this.
We do, too, but partly because my husband's a teacher. It was engrained in me to watch ALL the closings, because when I taught, I taught Special Ed. My kids came from all the surrounding districts. Even though we were open, I might only have one or two kids out of eight.
I guess, we don't get many school closing due to weather. I think its interesting when they talk about school lunches on the news though--- in WA they did every day, not so much here.
I still watch the closings. As a kid always to find out if we had school, then sometimes college was closed (a couple of times)!!! I stopped watching it. Then when I was subbing in ps I got up & ready to go & looked at the TV while I was eating breakfast 2 hour delay because of fog & no one called!!! Now I still watch it, even though I don't need too. I usually do to let my neighbor know if she has school or not!!!
I always watch the closing also. Don't really know why. My kids always ask if they get the day off also..LOL. Normally no.
Snow Day I think it is ingrained in me too! I'm sitting here sipping on my coffee watching all the school closings. All the schools around the area are closed today.
