Isn't it a funny thing? Living in the south wishing we would get beautiful snow and never getting it....
Then all of a sudden it feels as if it is constantly snowing. Don't get me wrong, the area has only gotten about 12 inches of snow total. (For Nashville, at least) But the snow days. Our county has 11 built in and we have used them up. We have lost President's Day, an inservice day and 2 days off of Spring Break. Plus we are expecting significant (1-3inches) today.
Kind of reminds you of the old saying, "Be careful what you wish for."
The snow has given me something to think about though. There are many attitudes that there have been a few days where they shouldn't have closed school or should have started late. I see that those individuals do not take in the big picture.
Our county is good sized. This last snow fall the county ranged from .5-5". There are people that didn't get hardly anything to people that are still iced in. The district takes that in to account and acknowledges that it is safer for children to miss school and stay home.
My question is do you take in the big picture? or just how things affect you and your family?
