On December, 18, the school district called the homes of all students. The students and their families answered the phone to hear a recorded voice message that notified all that school was canceled the next day due to the expected snow. In other words, winter break got one day added to it because of a snow day.
Snow days are magical, to say the least. The possibilities for a snow day are endless. Not to mention, students have no school. Is this necessarily a good thing, though? I know many students who wish that we didn't have a snow day because they had several tests planned for that day. This means that their studying was wasted because they would have to study during winter break some time in order to remember the material on their tests. Instead of having one horrible day before winter break, they were forced to deal with the anxieties of a couple tests for two more weeks.
Personally, I had an English test scheduled for that day. Although I fully enjoyed my snow day, day off of school, and early beginning to winter break, new consequences arose. I had to study for my English test over winter break in order to remember everything. Not to mention, the things I was planning to do at school that day were put off.
There are repercussions and benefits to any snow day, but I still can't decide. Was it worth it?
