Do kids have zoom classes for weather days?

In some places yes, in others no.

They stopped it because the days it took to lesson plan would be astronomical.

Please help me understand why the lesson plan would change. We are talking about a change of learning medium and not a change of what's going on in the class.

Do all students have laptop, iPads, or reliable internet to do this? Think those were given out due to the prolonged nature of the lab made China virus

Yeah, remote learning worked so well during COVID that

We find that a year of school closure is associated with learning loss equivalent to 1.1 years’ worth of learning and that school reopening reduced these losses down to 0.5 years. While partial recovery is observed, some learning losses persisted even after schools reopened

It's a fricking joke. Even now that every kid in my school district is issued a crapbook (Chromebook, but that's how my teenager refers to it,) they barely learn shite, because they're typing, and not writing. Most of them are multi tasking, distracted, etc.

NYC public schools. Mamdani said frick them kids. Private schools get the snow day

I don't have kids, but my opinion is I was born in '83 and we go to go out and play with our friends on snow days and then make up the days during the remainder of the year.

Older me initially thinks like OP.....they have the means to have classes now regardless. But I think they'd be better served getting to experience snow days with their friends and having their butts in their seats in front of their teacher. I've done plenty of online learning classes....in person is a much much better way to go.

Covid created the invention of NTI days and we have had them every year since. Anytime the weather is bad they make it an NTI day.

Would have been nice for you to explain what this means.

our local county schools had remote learning last Friday due to so many kids sick.

NTI

I am not familiar with this acronym

I didn’t get it either and had to look it up.

The below is from a school district in Kentucky

quote:

---

A Non-Traditional Instruction (NTI) Day allows learning to continue when inclement weather prevents students from attending school in person. Instead of a traditional snow day that must be made up later, students complete assignments at home while being counted present for the day. These assignments come from core subjects including reading, mathematics, science, and social studies and allow students to continue learning even during weather disruptions.
