Snow Day AGAIN

Mother Natural must be upset about something because as a Welcome to Spring 2018 we received the gift of SNOW.

Of course the mayor shut down schools which meant the kids received their 879th snow day for the school year. Between all the holidays, half-days and snow days we had this school year I believe the children of NYC only had 2 weeks of actual school days. No wonder our school system is one of the WORST in the country.

I don't know when NYC became so soft when it came to shutting down school because of a few snow flurries.  I remember the storm of 1993. Snow reached about 6 ft high, you couldn't tell the road from the side walk. But all NYC Public Schools where OPEN. You had to take turns sliding down a snow bank in order to get into the schools entrance. Buses and Trains where not working, but parents walked miles just to drop their children off. And we went along our normal school day with NO EARLY DISMISSAL. Now If someone in New Jersey farts and that wind travels to the east at 25 miles per hour ALL NYC PUBLIC SCHOOLS are CLOSED. (Who Knew??)

Besides the fact that our Children are being under educated by teachers who are only there for a paycheck, we are teaching our children to be WEAK. SOOOO WHAT if they have to trug through 6 inches of snow. I think that helps build Character, Strength and Ambition. It's real life situations like walking through the SNOW to get to school or work that helps build us up emotionally and physically.

Children no longer dance in the summer rain, Or make snow men during a winter snow storm. 😡
