Snow Day

I think it is worse than closing the school all day. There are many reasons for why it's worse. First, it may not be icy on roads in some parts of Waxahachie, but it could be icy elsewhere. This could cause accidents for people that have to drive on icy roads because they don't have a choice but to go to school. Secondly, the wind was blowing in excess of 35mph, so it caused even more danger for drivers that already were driving on slick roads. These conditions caused many wrecks in Fort Worth and Dallas, so it would not be wise to drive in them. Also, it gave students a short break from the stress of school and homework. It gave them a chance to catch up on stuff they needed to and time for relaxation. Even though it seems biased, it is real important to have time to relax from stress because it can effect a students grades and concentration. Therefore, not giving them energy to reach their full potential. Finally, of course, kids want to have a chance to play in the snow and ice at least once every winter. That was probably the only opportunity for students to do that this winter. These are the reasons why it is worse to only delay school rather than cancel it. Plus, the school doesn't even have to make it up.
