Remote Snow Days Spark Mixed Reactions From Parents (Full Transcript)

[00:00:09] Speaker 1: I feel sad because I usually love snow days and I like build snowmen and have snowball fights with this little one right here.

[00:00:22] Speaker 2: Due to extreme weather conditions, tomorrow will be a remote school day. I know that this may disappoint some students, so if you do see me, feel free to throw a snowball at me.

[00:00:38] Speaker 3: We will not be partaking in the remote day because we did it during COVID, was disastrously not successful at all. I also teach and I just don't really believe in it, so we're going to have a snow day and do fun things and enjoy life. It's one day of school.

[00:01:01] Speaker 4: I feel fine about it. I think because he's in kindergarten, I think if he was older I would really want him to have a proper snow day that was not virtual, but as a kindergartner I already know his teacher told us he won't have to do anything because they're five, so even if it is virtual I know he'll pretty much have a snow day.

[00:01:19] Speaker 5: They can always take the day off. A snow day is not going to crush the learning experience or put them so far behind, but I don't freak out. I grew up in the city, so it's just snow.

[00:01:37] Speaker 6: It's good in the sense of the school because they need to hit certain curriculum points, but it takes away the fun of just being able to go out in the backyard or go out in the front and just have snowball fights and just have fun.
