nhs mom,
So, did your kids study for FCAT at all during snow-day? Even 1 hour?
Surely they didn’t stay outside the entire day? I have a child at Suter and we did spend about 2 hours during “snow-day” on schoolwork studying for an upcoming test………..Just my opinion. No offense. If Esc Co was a top rated county state-wide, I wouldn’t be concerned as much.

Ray L. It is good news for students, they were thinking they would need to give up one of their spring break days. I know for a fact that the students in our area are hard at work getting ready for FCAT. So yes they need a break. This is great news.

“GOOD Day for students” Headlines read. Hmmm? Since we already live in one of the most under-educated counties in the entire state with a rating near the bottom of the list, why should we encourage students that it is a GOOD thing to miss school? No wonder we are churning out under-achievers…………

Baldwin county already made up the 2 Ida days. We go Good Friday to make up the snow day.

I am sure that the kids are glad that they don’t have to make up these days of extra school, and I know every one of them really got alot of enjoyment of being out to get to play in the snow, since this is probably the first time that many of them have seen any snow at all…
