The "Snow Day Suggestions" Saga Continues...

Over the past week, the Star News published several new responses and articles related to my letter to the editor, both online and in print. Here are the links to all of them:

Article in Response

"School systems have hands tied when it comes to makeup days" is the headline that accompanies this article, which, of course, drew my attention. But it was the first sentence that assured me my letter was at least part of the impetus for its creation:

"This winter's snowy weather left some parents questioning how area school systems plan for missed days and schedule make-up days."

I believe "some parents" refers to the moms I spoke of in my letter. Thanks for the answers, Mr. Gonzales! (2/2/11)

Editorial (in agreement)

Headline: "When Mother Nature (or electrical problems) cause havoc, schools need flexibility" (2/7/11)

The Snarkiness Continues

For those of you who read the response from my last blog post and thought it was uncalled for, you may not want to read this one. It's written by a fellow Northerner and it is not very friendly. (2/10/11)

Southern Hospitality?

This letter was written by my mom, under her maiden name. She was tired of the nevative responses and decided to write a rebuttal. Her prose is biting as always, and only matched by her sharp wit. I think she put the nay-sayers in their place quite well. What do you think, readers? (2/10/11)


Thank you for your interest in my letter and the responses it received! I greatly appreciated all of those who read it for themselves.

Happy Valentines Day,
