If in-person teaching is so necessary that I am forced to come in during a pandemic instead of doing remote learning, then that remains true even if it happens to snow.

You can't simultaneously hold that in-person teaching is a necessity, but also that remote learning is good enough instead of allowing for snow days. Cut that shit out.

    amen, especially since heavy snowfall/snowstorms often impact power infrastructure, preventing students from accessing remote classes

    there will be attempts to shoehorn remote learning into learning once it's deemed safe to return to in-person learning (regardless of actual health metrics), and when they do stand with your union (or push them) to fight back!

    Yeah that shit is useless. No student is going to show up for that.

    Although I will say, we've been getting a few too many snow days in hellworld Iowa. Really throwing off my schedule. This last one was on a Tuesday. And can I say, middle of the week snow days are the worst. Uncritical support for M/F snow days, but mid week snow days can fuck right off.

      IDK, sometimes a Wednesday snowday is really nice, but Friday snowdays are easily the best snowdays.

      Thursday snowdays are the worst, though. Having to come back on Friday for one day is so pointless.

      I don't understand why Canadians always try to claim they don't have snow days.

      You do. There are snow days across Canada, though there is a slight disparity toward Eastern Canada having more of them.

      Canadians denying they had snow days is like the saddest dick waving contest of all time.

        I'm sorry I've never had a snow day
