Snow Days Ain’t What They Used to Be

My daughter was so happy for the foot of snow we received on Monday night, because she was sure that meant a Snow Day. She was horrified when her school announced Tuesday would simply be a day of remote learning, like much of the last several months. That has resulted in an argument about whether Snow Days are themselves Acts of God, because they are after all caused by one, and thus students have a divine right to have the day off from school. I assert, because after all I am a Daa-aad, that Snow Days are an archaic part of pre-internet schooling, and thus serve no purpose when students and staff alike can readily shift into remote learning until the streets are cleared. Are Snow Days yet another part of Ohio life that will be forever altered by Covid?
