If you're from the Northeast, this isn't news to you: It's been a brutal winter.
One snowstorm after another has piled snow higher and higher in driveways, along sidewalks and on the our streets. And school snow days have piled on as well. Some districts are looking at holding school on Saturdays to make up days and avoid stretching the end of the year deep into June.
But at a time when more and more adults are able to plug into their jobs remotely via the internet, why can't schools do the same for students stuck at home during blizzards? That's just want a lot of schools are doing.
Here's a story in the NY Times about students plugging into school virtually in the New York area.
And over on our frizzle education blog we're wondering: When it snows, Is it better to go virtual, or add on days at the end of the school year?
