My school has these things called 'Inclement Weather days'. Basically if it snows most the time one of these happens you go in an hour later and come home and hour earliar.
But today our head realised it was too bad even for them (well bus companies). So a NEW revolutionary idea came - ONLINE WORK!! Now if he closes the school teaches send us work we are SUPPOSED to do,
Still, I won't do it - along with the other 1001 people in the school.
Seriously it is annoying lol.
schoolwork on snowdays!?!?
whats next... schoolwork through out the summer holidays?
:P
It's stupid, I haven't done anything, someone that my mum works with son is in Year 7, and is starting to bug me. 'x' (won't say name) has been doing work all day -0 have you done any?' 'Yes mum' 'What have you done'
And that goes on for ages eventually she goes away and says 'Well make sure you do, you are the only person not doing it' lol.
well schools are basically judged on their exam results. too much time off = missed lessons = worse results.
But let's be honest, snow or work. What are teenagers gonna do lol.Quote:

It's silly Imean Inclement Weather days for every pupil that doesn't come in (last time around 750 of 1000ish didn't come in), ALL of those go onto unauthorised absence. So he is being a mug really, as that in itself looks bad.
yeah, it's not realistic. but even if 20% of students do the work, it's better than none.
Reminds me of the Simpsons where it's a snow day but Bart has to do school work :P
LOL. Next thing he will do is non-pupil day work lol.
We were punished, had to read lord of the flies for english -.-
haha that's funny although we are just expected to do the work anyway like revision for our mocks and so forth :)
That's stupid :(
Omg i hate lord of the flies. worst book ever. got a B grade with my essay though
i had to go to sixth form today. theyd pushed the snow to the sides of the paths so 1ft of snow became 4ft. was like walking through channels
My school justs cuts out holidays either next year or summer holiday so basically I do work in the summer holidays, that's why my school opened on a monday, because of last februarys snowfall.
We watched that in RE once, it's a messed up film that! :PQuote:

If I'm off monday I have to go online. I won't do it as a)I doubt any teacher will put work up. b)I just wouldn't concentrate and c)I can't be bothered.
OFFTOPIC: My capture image was "whose stripped" LOL.
my schools done exactly the same
but everyones already said there not doing it.
Ive been to school once this week and no one has been set any online work. All the other schools in my area have though. The only work I've done at home has been revision.
I've done no work on any of my snow days.
Although, I probably should start doing some revision seeing as I have exams next week :D
