Also new to me.

That's stupid, though. Cause then you'd have to make it up at the end of the year. We don't have that.

They'll probably start doing that in Houston since, like, there's no gas AT ALL with everyone leaving.

That is one of the most retarded things I've ever heard of. It only goes to show people only care about money and not more important things like education!

it's not really that...gas costs a lot of money these days and some people can't afford to shuffle their kids to school and the schools don't have the money to fill up all those buses...

this whole gas issue is freaking me out...

Aww...If Rita's really horrid, the gas prices might go up to four dollars.
I'd hate if my school closed because of gas. We really have to find a new way to go to school. Maybe we can just walk there or...Bike? Heh...(x__X);; Sorry!
Why can't we just poof ourselves to school like Harry Potter people. (>__<)

Wow, I haven't heard about that here. But then again, there's alway mass transit here so gas isn't that much of an issue.

Umm. Not really. You have to provide a LOT of gas for kids going to school on a bus, and it could cause a lo of problems.

Well, I'm one of the kids in Georgia that don't have to go to school. _smile.gif I don't think it's retarded.

People in Harry Potter did just "poof" there. They had to take a train, then take either the boats across the lake or they took a carriage up to the castle. Sorry, I just had a itch to correct you.

This is news to me too. I hope my school doesn't close down.

No way my school would close down because of this, but that would suck if it did ><"
I heard about this, but I never really took it into consideration. It wouldn't make much of a difference in my opinion, a lot of people bus and walk to school anyway.. and if they get a ride its because their parents work near the school, which wouldn't make means they'd go near there anyway =/

I'm Canadian too! But when we have snow days, we don't have to make them up, unless there was a lot of days that we missed. I love CANADA! lol

I'm really actually not happy. They canceled our exhibition, which we really need, they canceled practice tuesday, which we also really need, and I don't see why it couldn't have last week when I had 16 tests in 3 days

Funny. Our school got cancelled for the hurricane. [evacuee center]

It wouldn't suprise me really if they cancelled it for gas...

But this is interesting.

nicki...btw, we got an 89.5 but it was only a 2 judge thing...

..yeah they cancelled our Tuesday practice too.

So every day..the week after this one..we'll have a 3 hour practice. So instead of practicing 9 hours a week we'll practice 12 mad.gif

That's the only thing I'm sour about.

Ewww. I fully expected them to call practice Monday or Tuesday after tnoight's show (which sucked), but no, we get not extra practices at all

pshh...i WISH my school would be closed monday and tuesday. who cares about snowdays? to me, it's not like a couple of days added on to the end of the year is anything to stress over. you don't do shit the last 2 weeks of school...i'd rather have off a lot during the school year.

You can make yourself a snowman! Goes Ice skating! Stay on top of the frozen lake while you’re fishing through the crack.

Sorry, I thought snow would be fun because I never have snow in my whole life.

edit.
