GRrRr! Snow Days!

Many schools have snow days because the roads are too bad and they fear accidents among the students. I do not feel that making them up is the answer to solving the problem. When we have a snow day, everything gets messed up with the end of the year because all of the dates are already set and ready for the year, with no room for any interruptions whatsoever. The thing is, dates for finals are not to be moved for any reason so when we have snow days, it leaves teachers cramming last minute information and knowledge that they are to know for the finals. Then when it comes time to make the days up, the students have nothing to study because the final test are already over and done. This results to the students being stuck doing nothing for the last part of the year instead of spending our time enjoying summer. A lot of times, the superintendent will schedule half days, for the whole days lost, so that it's easier on the students and the teachers. One way to fix this would be to convince the school board to move finals back if needed. This way everything will have time to fall in place so teachers won't be so crammed with their teaching schedules. Another thing would be to only make up snow days until a certain point. For example, we have five snow days over a two-week time period. The sixth snow days that we get, would be waived because there is no need to make it up.
