I mean, if one random Tuesday a big oak tree fell on a backwood rural road and a kid couldn’t make it to school, they wouldn’t close the entire school for the 4,999 other kids who had no problem going to school.
This is such a retarded take...

Assumption parish schools are closed until Monday. They announced this yesterday.

Teachers will do anything for another day off. The griping has already started on social media about how ""unsafe it is to go back on Friday."" Eye roll!
interesting how it is only "unsafe" for public sector employees - but not with the private sector employees - I wonder why that is?

One the owners care about making a profit and can't do it if the employees stay home.

My kids' private school in Lafayette just closed until Monday.

they are using the “virtual learning” route to avoid make-up days in May.
Not my district. After COVID, they’ve established that too many of our families are too poor to afford internet.

Do you work for a private sector school kid transportation company?

Don't some private and public schools share buses?

how about you share with the class how it works then Baw
It goes by instruction hours. A school years isn’t calculated by days or weeks it is calculated in hours.
So a half day is by design to still accumulate hours.
When a virtual day is called; it counts as hours. — so quit bitching about these, the alternative is an added day.
The last thing to get used is the students holiday time to recoup hours.
The first thing used is the teachers days that are built in to allow them to catch up on required paperwork and trainings.
Missing time is built into the whole picture, but missing too much means it’ll get made up in other ways.
A late start half day tomorrow would have been the way to still get hours in. Lord knows that this route would have pissed off the Karen’s however.

I think it was channel 9 at lunch that said tomorrow morning they will have slush and ice on the roads.
If a school system puts students on the road in the morning on buses and they have an accident, the school system will be sued.
Blame the litigious world we live in for school be canceled, not the school system.

Fill me in on what I, as a teacher, can DO to get another day off. The answer is nothing, because teaching already offers more PTO than other jobs, but you already know that.

The Jefferson Parish Facebook page is full of teachers commenting that they won’t show up tomorrow because the roads will re-freeze tonight.
Low is 36F.

Interstates are still closed - crescent city connection opened 1 lane - I55 in sections still closed - I10 around NOLA still closed. Good luck getting those kids back to school at LSU.

They included the "if you feel unsafe" clause, meaning they can count it as a full day but not obligate anyone to do anything.

That’s fine - he can do virtual in his class - he only has 1 class Friday anyway.

I’ll be dropping my kids off at school tomorrow regardless of whatever they announce. They’ve been in my house enough

How many people does each entity involve? Public is probably a lot more.

What would be the point or risk of bringing kids back for one day?

In 2022, 69.6 percent of people employed in the U.S. worked in the private sector, while 13.4 percent worked in the public sector (the remainder were self-employed or worked at nonprofit organizations), according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).
