This week was only supposed to be a 4-day week because we are off friday. Monday we had a 2-hour delay because it was cold out (it's supposed to be cold, this is Pennsylvania), yesterday we had a 2-hour early dismissal from a snow storm and today we are closed because of the snow and now a freezing rain. And we are off friday and monday so we have 1 day of school tomorrow (maybe) and then a 4 day weekend.
Anyone else getting this much luck?
High school I suppose :P?
I don`t think they would even evacuate this place if there was a fire.
Yeah high school, although alot of the colleges up here closed too, except my brother's which never closes but the teaches can cancel class if they want.
My best school week was when there was...like one day and rest was off.
When that happens most of the school usually just skips lolQuote:

haha true. My school hardly gets closed even during shooting threats . The philosophy :"They'll be fine"Quote:

So "best school week" roughly translates to "least school week"?
I'd say a best school week would be one with brilliant and interesting events, educating and stimulating lessons, and an awesome social scene. Not the lack of school.
If, in saying that the best of something is contained within the lack of it.. uh.. well then there is no point for it's existence.. yet school obviously has a point; so somewhere there is faulty reasoning.
Its completely different here.Quote:

:boogie: Horray for English stoicism.
All my night classes on Monday were called off because of the snow. I finished at 4:30 instead of 8:00pm =P

What education system is this?
College :P I only go two days a week eheh. Adds up to 15 credit hours.
This may be true for some... but I know that in high school I was forced to be there five days a week. Hell, I've been forced since I was a tyke. If I was honestly interested in something academically I would pursue it. Otherwise I could have cared less about spending 8 hours a day in a building. Hence, a week with little school was a time of great joy.Quote:

It has a point; education, but school isn't generally fun.Quote:

I'd rather hang out with friends outside of school anyway.
College is the best part for me, i love socializing, i hate being stuck at home.Quote:

Not healthy...
Getting out often has its benefits. :P

Can't a teacher put them on their website and say to print them out and read them and then ask questions on what you don't understand the next day and we'll move on to the next topic?
I like to learn but not the way the school teaches. Most of the time the administration doesn't care if we learn anyway, just if we do well on standardized testing so the school gets money. A lot of teachers do care but they are under pressure to teach to what is on the testing.
So basically yes, time out of that stressful, inefficient place is a good week in my book.
