crappyice Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 SNOW DAY!I know I am opening up myself up to all that crap about unions, tenure, retirement, summers off, yadda, yadda , yadda! However, teaching still offers that one opportunity to turn me back into the a school kid finding out we have been blessed with an unexpected day off!

grampy Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Our students are enjoying a snow day. But I'm here, and it's sooooo quiet! My footsteps seem to echo in the halls. Good day to catch up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fasteddie Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Many , many years ago , the Meteorologists had predicted a sever snow storm in the Rochester area that would cripple traffic in the area . Xerox chose to be safe and called for a snow day . Storm never happened and the snow day was a beautiful day . The company never did it again .

rob-c Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 I was a school bus mechanic for 7 years , moved to a better job a year and half ago. I do kind of miss those easy snow days, we could get so much done when the busses were grounded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crappyice Posted February 9, 2017 Author Share Posted February 9, 2017 Fired eggs over cheesy grits drizzled with truffle oil! That should be enough to get me through these folders of essays.Hope my kids did better than I did in my OP-good catch Eddie!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BizCT Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Secondary Education (Math) was my original major in college. When the summer comes, I wish I was a teacher and could play golf or fish everyday.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATbuckhunter Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 (edited) All cuny colleges (and most others in the city) got off today. Couldn't be happier as I get out at 10 on Thursdays due to my Physics 2 class. Edited February 9, 2017 by ATbuckhunter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the summer comes, I wish I was a teacher and could play golf or fish everyday.Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkI, too, wish I had the summers off to golf and fish. The thought that a teacher (as the primary bread winner for the family) can take off the summer is ludicrous. For me to support a family of five (and maybe stupidly live in westchester) I NEED to teach, coach 2 seasons(quit football due to hunting and needing some summer break), tutor 3 hours a week, and run a summer camp. That's not counting all the little odds and ends jobs I pick up through the school year. For that I have a modest house, "happy" kids, and one real family vacation a year....if travel baseball and my daughter's NYC performances don't get in the way.Ahhh the EASY STREET life of a teacher!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The $ is what ultimately steered me away from it, but i definitely respect what you guys do. I have several friends that are teachers and most of them coach several sports.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crappyice Posted February 9, 2017 Author Share Posted February 9, 2017 I am not bitching(too much). Wouldn't change anything - I don't think my ADD would allow me to do the same singular thing for my whole life. Hell with teaching I get a new crop of kids to deal with every 45 minutes and a whole new batch every year. Allows me to do lots of different interests Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really was a good day. We went fishing at Russel Station. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pygmy Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 I remember that storm..... About a week prior we had a storm down here in the southern tier...Rather than go home early, I waited it out at my job at Corning Glass Works...I could not make it home that night in my 2WD pickup....I had to call a neighbor with his 4WD to get me home, and the next morning I was downtown in Addison shoveling out my truck on Main St... SOOO, a week later, when the SUPERSTORM was predicted, I told my boss I was NOT coming in to work and suffer the same fate... I sat home and watched all day as the sun shined, waiting for the IMMINENT storm to begin any minute...My boss never did let me live that one down.... The prick.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Real_TCIII Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Everyone likes to make fun of WNY for snow but the only snow days my kids have had in 8 years of school were during Snowvember a couple years ago, and we didn't have snow. Teachers couldn't get in due to travel bans. My family in Boston and NJ have had so many snow days the past few winters they've had to extend the school year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
