The news keeps saying that schools aren't back in session today and won't be until Monday.

I know what you mean hun. My mother works for the school system also and teaches at a high school and she was saying the same thing the other day. It's almost as if there was no break and you need a few extra days just so you can rest and rejuvenate.

I had to work all day yesterday on-call from 6am - 6pm. and I'm still tired! And I also had to work on New Years Eve day as well and I feel like I need the rest of the week off just so I can rest up, you know? I sometimes feel like there just isn't enough hours in the day for any of us anymore.

Bummer on going back early! I'm on a year round schedule so we're different and we get three weeks off (naturally, I was in for 7 hours today and will be meeting with my team tomorrow for planning, which will prob take half the day if not more, I'm sure you know what I mean).

No snow here but my colleagues and I were also saying the same thing. I thought that the first day or 2 should be half day just so I can get back into the groove of things

I've always wondered what would happen if an entire class froze to death outside... would the teacher get the rest of the year off?


One of our high schools here had 2 fires in it the first day back... I figured the kids either a) were cold or b) wanted a day off.
