With snow continuing to fall in beautiful Lincoln, NE, today is the second snow day of the week for local students of public and parochial schools. But it raises the question:
Do home-schooled kids get snow days too?
When the snow flies, do they get a one-day reprieve from tests and homework? Do they get to hang out in their jammies and watch The Price is Right* the way we did when we were growing up? Or is it just another day for them?
*Even if The Price is Right is just not the same with Drew Carey.
Regardless of how one feels about the pros and cons of home school, I would hope those kids get to experience the unbridled optimism that a few flakes of snow can lead to instant vacation, as well as the Christmas morning-like excitement that comes from hearing/seeing your school’s name followed by the word “CLOSED”.
