This blue checkmark from The Washington Post wondered aloud on Twitter why school openings near D.C. were delayed because of snow.

Among all the awful things happening in the world right now, this doesn’t even rank Top One Billion, but… HOW DO YOU POSSIBLY JUSTIFY A TWO HOUR SNOW DELAY FOR VIRTUAL SCHOOL THAT IS ALREADY ONLY FOUR DAYS A WEEK?!

This makes too much sense. We’re sure she’ll get shouted down at any minute.

Elsewhere near the Beltway, near the fenced-in, yet oddly unsupervised seat of power, virtual public schools will be closed or have reduced hours due to snow.

Snow? Obviously the snow is an illusion. It’s impossible to snow due to the intense heat cause by the climate change. Joe recognizes what an extreme emergency it is, even though alarmists have been claiming emergency literally since 1910, so I can see why Joe destroyed 4 millions jobs, destroyed US energy independence, and moved $30 billion marked for US farmers screwed by China to climate chance although nobody knows just what the hell that $30 billion will do. Is he going to pay people not to drive?

Unhhhh, they need time off to go out and shovel?

Same as summer vacation so the kids can help out on the farm.

“It’s Snowing in the East So Naturally Virtual School Is Canceled”

No so fast. I have been working from home in FL for over 9 years and whenever it would snow up north and our offices were closed for a snow day. I would go surffishing or take the boat out.

Now, it’s although the offices are closed, we will still all be working from home.

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)

The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

Seriously, at some point we cannot continue to blame teacher’s unions, we must blame the teachers.

Anyone who, by this point, doesn’t realize that public “schools” are a massive scam run by the mafia that is the government, and isn’t trying their darndest (if they have school-aged kids) to get their kids out of these third world sh!tholes is either incredibly stupid, insanely evil, or a brainwashed leftist.

Actually they need to cancel classes. Here in the 20k ppl. per sg. mile city, all i see in every snow storm are adults shoveling (myself included, but thank God i can). I ask, “where are the kids?” and the answer is that they are in class (online)!
