Only a delay today for the students of Wawasee Community School Corporation. Several schools in our area were still out, however, because of the extreme cold, but we were back in session. I have to say that even though many parents were on the Wawasee blog complaining about this decision and threatening to keep their children at school, most of us (including students) were ok with the decision to return to our daily routine. The reality in our area is that winter can be cold and snowy. Keeping everyone home for seven or eight days as several local communities did seems a little excessive to me. When Alex came over yesterday, he said he had been out everyday since Sunday. If he can drive on his dirt road in the country with a car the size of Doug's civic, then I believe the rest of us can manage the drive as well.
The bonus for going to school on days like today and last Friday is that we may still end up finishing the school year before June. As of now, the school calendar has been changed and a teacher day has been given up, so that students are scheduled to be done May 30th. No one will be complaining if that end date remains. It has been quite awhile since we students have finished in May.
