Snow (or wind or cold) Days

I do not like snow days. Usually students are all excited to get a whole day off of school to do nothing. But after the first snow day, not me. I say after the first snow day because one snow day I can deal with. I can’t deny that I do like to sleep in, not do anything until basketball practice, then not do anything after basketball. It’s just like a Sunday. But once the snow days start pilling up, I don’t like them anymore.

First of all, I don’t like the weather. Recently, we have been getting out of school because of the cold and wind. I always say, the snow I can deal with, but the cold always gets me. If it’s just a foot of snow to get us out of school, I’m fine with that. But when it drops to negative 23 with a wind chill of negative 50 degrees, I just don’t like it. That kind of cold makes everything cold. It makes your house drafty, it makes walking the dog unreasonable, and it makes your car too frozen to start.

The second reason why I don’t like snow (or wind or cold) days is because it screws up teacher’s plans for school. I know that this may sound odd coming from a student, but I really don’t like when teachers have to adjust their class plans. They always say that the make-up days are added at the end of the 3^rd term, which does us no good in the 2^nd term. This means that if we have multiple snow (or wind or cold) days, the homework load in the weeks after gets very large. Since teachers don’t have the time to cover things in class, they give it to the students to cover on their own.

And the third reason for which I loath multiple snow (or wind or cold) days, is because I would prefer not to finish school in July. As of right now, with only three snow (or wind or cold) days, we are already going into the second week of June. This is wrong, but it will only get worse with the more snow (or wind or cold) days that get added to this year. I would rather do my work now, and deal with the weather, than have to do my work in June when I actually enjoy the weather.
