Hang Out and Post

[Noog]

I always go to school in mid august and get out in late may/early June. The past two school years were interesting though, because during each we used up a lot of our emergency days, especially year before last, where they were debating keeping us an extra week.

[CAV of Gang Green]

I'm not sure when school starts for me.

 

But I haven't gotten the books to work on my break homework.

[Aidensmomma]

I live in the North East and winters can be brutal so it's almost guaranteed that they have at least a few days tacked on the end.

[-Ryan]

I don't mean to revive a dead topic but this goes PERFECTLY fo that age discussion earlier. :P

 

[Noog]

It actually snowed 6 inches (it has never snowed, EVER) and we didn't get the day off. A lot of kids were marked as skipping school because they were afraid to drive on the iced over roads. One of my friends almost crashed from the ice :(

[Aidensmomma]

Ah hahaha!!! That poster is fantastic!!

 

Do you live in the USA? What part if so?

[livvy]

He won't tell you. He's very private about his location. :shiftyeyes_anim:

 

HI Angie! I've seen you a lot in the New Members Board. It's really just for new members to introduce themselves; not much conversation goes on there. Glad to have you join us.

 

Ryan, my friend's parents have that sign. It amuses me every time I see it. :P

[Noog]

Southeast USA. Good Luck guessing exactly where, because even if you would guess the exact town I wouldn't say if it was true.

 

Ryan, I'm wondering where the picture on the sign was taken. o.O

[CAV of Gang Green]

I live in New York City, and while it's brutal in the winter, there's almost no snow.

[ΩCCΩ]

I only saw snow once. I never get to stay in a place where it snows.

[Noog]

When I finally saw snow, I thought that it was such a lie.

 

The whole snowflake thing is exaggerated, and any sort of amazing shape is only under a microscope :P It just looks like...the clouds have bad dandruff. Disgusting, but a good comparison.

[Aidensmomma]

I live in NH, we get lots of snow. And I just realized your little bio under your avatar says where you live, unless that's just a fake location you put in. My parent's just moved down there and they said the winter stunk this year.

[livvy]

We get out of school if there's even a hint of snow. The process goes something like this:

 

School Board Member: Mr. Chairman! Mr. Chairman!

Chairman: What?

School Board Member: I saw... *whimpers* I saw... A SNOWFLAKE!

Chairman: A SNOWFLAKE? Quick, call all schools! Everyone must be on lockdown! No one should be driving on these roads!

[Aidensmomma]

Haha! We're pretty used to snow here. My job actually gives us snow days if the weather is too bad too :)

 

Have you never seen snow before??

[ΩCCΩ]

We sometimes get off when there is a rare rainstorm.

[Noog]

Yeah, that's how it SHOULD have been that day Livvy, but it started to really pour once the buses were already on their second load of students and some of the teachers were already there. They just didn't want to have to call everyone's parents to end school :/

 

@CC we've had to stay at school during T-Storms that generated tornadoes and shut the power off. The school board isn't afraid of a storm <_<

[Aidensmomma]

Get off school or work? What area do you live in?

[livvy]

We don't get many tornadoes here... We do get a lot of tornado DRILLS though. "Everyone go out to the hall and put your head between your knees and cover your neck. No talking!" Excuse me, but if I'm about to die in my third story class with a tornado coming through, I want to be talking to my friend when I do. <_<

 

That was pretty bad of them, Noog. :eh: Snow in an area unused to snow is really dangerous. They should have bused everyone back home.

[CAV of Gang Green]

We get out of school if there's even a hint of snow.

 

If only Bloomberg was that soft. He is so hard headed. He doesn't cancel school for ANYTHING. He did it twice last year, which is a new record.

 

One of the times, he saw that at 6 AM it was snowing heavy, so he cancelled school. By 10 AM, it had stopped, and the sun was shining bright. Jokes on him.

[Noog]

Tornado Drill! Everyone get on your knees, put your head between them, and kiss your butt goodbye :P That's what it always seemed like. XD

 

We don't have multiple story schools here. If they are multiple stories then its just because it's on a smaller lot of property.

[CAV of Gang Green]

Like I said, Bloomberg doesn't cancel anything for anyone. It could be 13 inches of snow and we still gotta go to school and work!

[livvy]

We went from a big, colorful, spread out pod system (Don't ask me to explain; it was some weird schooling idea from the 70s) to a compact, dichromatic, prison-like 3 story building. The boring halls are bad, but the stairways... the stairways are Hellfish to an introvert of small stature.

[CAV of Gang Green]

No matter how much school is fun at the moment, it always tends to mess itself up.

[livvy]

I used to adore school. Then high school happened. But I've said all this before.

 

I just hope they get some artwork back on the walls. Not like, hung on the walls, but painted on it. Our pod hallways were covered with murals.

[Spritzie]

We used to have a superintendent from Alaska. He almost never cancelled school, delayed it. Anything. But this is Colorado, we get a lot of bad weather during the winter.
