Johnston Co. Schools Closed Feb 2, 2010

whatever Craig in a perfect world maybe, point being is my kid is my responsibility and I will make this choice for him and considering that he is doing great in school and never missed a day Sat. plans will continue!

 

LOL....part of the reasoning I'm all for year round schools.

 

yeah I actually am too!

 

So if you have a child whose family is 7th Day Adventist or Orthodox Jewish and families observe their religious holiday, it's ok for a teacher to penalize them with a failing grade?


If you're saying that sports and extracurricular activities should not get in the way of education, I'm in complete agreement.

And, if we extend that logic, why not do away with all sports in schools and use the money for books, etc.

Some parents shell out a lot of money to provide extracurricular activities that the schools can't or won't provide. If these parents have paid for their kids to enjoy a soccer league, and the schedule prevents the child from participating in something the parents paid for, does the family not get penalized for trying to plan ahead and rely on the published make up calendar?

 

The discussion was about Saturday birthday parties and sporting events.

 

Not me. I like my lazy days of summer.

 

Then by all means Saturday should be marked as his first missed, day thus ending the perfect attendence.

 

:mrgreen:

 

So, do you think they'll be school tomorrow? Most roads in our neighborhood are pretty good but our's is still quite icy. Thinking there will at least be a delay. Wondering though if there is still enough ice on secondary roads and you'll have a 3rd make up day to complain and argue about. :neutral:

 

This is JOCO we are talking about.....aint no Heebs around here....just washed in the blood of the lamb Suthin Baptists. :lol:

 

Has anyone heard when the mak up day for today is?

 

LOL.....from my earlier post and link provided the make-up day for Today Feb. 2 is April 9th.

 

Bingo!!!

 

In your world, I guess that's the case. Things? What unrealistic things? My complaint about lack of communication from the school? Gee? What are YOU complaining about right now?? 8)

 

You wouldn't understand even if I explained it to you. Carry on Miss Full Sweater.

 

Yeah, when you got nothing, start with the insults. :cheers:

 

If the school is open as a regular school, Saturday or any other day, my daughter better have her rear in her teacher's classroom. I do allow her one mental day out of school per year. One day to rest and relax without sports, events, etc. Other than that, unless she's sick, she better be in school.

yawn....ok

 

I bet you missed a whole semester.

 

You two fuss like an old married couple.
