St. Cloud Cathedral Kills Snow Days

that's great for the private schools who charge lots of money for tuition and can afford to give every student a laptop or ipad.........and the internet access to boot.  i work for a school district where every student receives an ipad to use during the school year............however, not every student has internet access at home, so i really don't see this working across the board.  another great example of the digital divide.  some students at my school have a hard time completing assignments online due to a lack of internet access.....imagine what would happen if they were counted absent due to a lack of internet.  parents would go ballistic and rightfully so.  besides, i always thought snow days were our reward for living and dealing with all this inconvenient white stuff :-)

It's unfortunate that children born to parents with poor choices in schooling & religion have to suffer. That being said… God be praised, for secular snow days!

Snow days are the only thing preventing winter from total ball suckage.

Probably not. Unless all the schools provide computers and internet access to all students. Can't forget about those that are low-income.

I grew up in Tampa, Florida. We didn't have snow days :( We did have bomb scare days. Usually testing day. LOL

Snow days are one of the memorable parts of being a kid!! I can see doing this when there have been too many snow days, but geez let the kids enjoy the last few years of adolescence before the real world starts. I loved Cathedral High School but I disagree with this!!! Great idea for kids missing too much school for illness,

Sometime technology sucks, right kids?

Not all parents can afford laptops and IPads but this is a private and tuition schools so most of them can afford this and I know parents that can not even afford internet

Welcome to the digital divide.

Boo! Snow days are the one fun thing about winter.

I think it's a great idea!

Sounds good to me.

No snow days? That would really suck.

I wish we would have had this when I was in high school. Not for the snow days but so that when I got sick and missed over 100 days between 10th and 11th grade I could have kept up easier and gotten better grades instead of falling behind and struggling to catch up.
