Internet Could Mean End of "Snow Days"
fangmcgee writes "Could the Internet mean the end of snow days? Some schools think so, and they are experimenting with ways for students to do lessons online during bad weather, potentially allowing classes to go on during even the worst blizzard." Alright folks, it's finally happened: The Internet has gone too far. It's time to blow it up and go back to papyrus scrolls and horseback couriers.
As an adult, if you want to keep your kids learning, keep them out of school entirely. School is fun, but the learning has to happen after hours because the teacher -> student model is simply a babysitting service. If you gave children the entire day to learn, they would be much better off for it.
