The song is still played in the end, but your motivation is everyone's enjoyment, not yours. Getting to listen to a song you enjoy is just the cherry on top of the cake, not the cake itself.

I'm a teacher aspirant, and relatively recently rediscovered the importance of intrinsic motivation. I'm also an ex-factory worker, and there I learned the soul-crushing horrors of check marks and extrinsic motivation. These people who think persistence begets mastery are only half-correct. To paraphrase The Edge from _Furi,_ mastery is a habit, not a mindset. We are what we do. The real way to get those test scores up isn't to mindlessly shove knowledge into kids' brains and hope they retain it, all for goodboy points on their report cards. They're missing the trees for the forest, which is a shitty practice for people trying to cultivate strong trees. People who succeed want to, and they don't need help or extra resources to get there. The real fight is getting kids to care about their education, for _themselves,_ not for the benefits that come from a series of letters on a piece of paper, or the stuff they'll get from mommy and daddy for doing well at school.

I live in Buenos Aires, Argentina. We just don't get snow here - the last time was in 2007. (And it was on the 9th of July, which was not only a Sunday, but also our independence day, meaning there was nothing worthwhile to cancel - not that the 10cm of snow we got would've made us cancel anything.) While we have very different weather throughout the year, it's never inclement enough to warrant cancelling school due to it. Heat alerts always happen in January (or late December), and there's no school during those months anyway. I had no idea school got cancelled due to bad weather in other places. It's something I learned about on the Internet long after having finished school. It's a completely alien concept to me.

I think there is a bit of a misunderstanding. In more recent years snow days don't seem to be called with the same standards. It used to only be for a serious blizzards where I grew up, more recently it has been for days where the roads may still be ice covered at 6 AM ish. And so now they have something like 20 a year and it is just actually a significant amount of time for people to be missing when by 9 AM the roads are melted and they probably could have had class. I think some bad early morning car accidents prompted this change in our district, I think one of the administrators lost family to it or something like that. So I think, keeping 1-5 snow days a year, sure, no problem, but maybe we should get online and get something done on the more trivial "snow" days. Either the ice ones, or the ones they call further south when they get just a sprinkling that are hilarious to those of us that get real amounts of snow.

As a Canadian, I never had a snow day. Not even 1 meter (3 feet) of snow overnight would have cancelled school. It's not as if snow could have stopped us from doing anything, we were used to it and had the means to work around it. I once walked to school in a -50°C snow storm.

@Heather-vi7gy Жыл бұрын

okay, that's just child endangerment. I grew up in minnesota and we had a day cancelled due to cold at about that temperature - they should have cancelled school (also, i didn't know it could snow at that temperature!! usually the sky cleared up when it got that cold for our region) we did have some days of 3 foot storms that didn't cancel school, and some that did, it depended on when the snow fell. The few days when the 3 feet were all dumped between 4am and 9am were when they really couldn't get anything done about it

Given that the modern American school system is designed to engineer a specific kind of personality ideal for entering an equally soul crushing workforce? Yeah no, not a coincidence. Very much intentionally designed to repress creative thinking, insist on conformity, insist on obsessive perfection even when the work itself has no direct benefit for you, and to be unquestioning to authority figures. Modern American public schools are literally designed to create the perfect worker drones. Unquestioning of authority, too uncreative to think beyond instructions given, and keep just low information enough that they can't even tell when they are being taken advantage of in a legal sense(i.e uninformed as to their actual rights etc)

Which is why homeschooling + extra curricular activities (to socialize and have fun with peers) has been a top priority for many new and potential parents. If parents can, they should. Public schools are fundamentally broken and they will never change until insane changes happen (this of course depends on the country. I think in the US it will literally never change while the budget will keep increasing because the system is just too big).

As someone who grew up in a place where snow is extremely rare, snow days were never a thing for me. I wish they had been though. What we did occasionally get was time off for things like hurricanes and flooding, but that's much less fun.

@Sarge1886 Жыл бұрын

My school system had “work days” that operated as scheduled wiggle room. Basically if there was a reason why the schools couldn’t open (say snow days or blackouts) a future work day would be used in its place. Unused work days would be given to the students as time off and the teachers as meetings, workshops, or time off as well.

Even worse, with distance learning being a thing schools could even go as far as saying "oh your sick? Well you can just join class online then"

The approach to distance-learning happening now is an attempt to prepare the next generation of desk workers to expect to work from home as much as possible instead of calling in sick to take the day off and rest. Bosses will squeeze through any loophole to get out of begrudgingly allowing otherwise legally-required paid sick days or paid parental leave.

Fun fact. When I was growing up in Australia, school would be cancelled when the temperature reached over 40 degreed celsius (104oF). I can't tell you how many times we secretly tried to rub or breathe on the class thermometer to edge it up the final couple of degrees... ahh, memories.

@tedioussugar384 3 жыл бұрын

Australian here, still in high school, nowadays if we hit 40, they just cancel school sport and make everyone stay in the shade instead... damn the education systems and their lack of childlike freedoms.

@HenryLoenwind 3 жыл бұрын

Oh don't remind my of those times. Our school had that thermometer in the school secretary's office---which was on the pole-facing side of the building. And all regular classrooms were on the equator-facing side...

@riddlerandsa8161 3 жыл бұрын

Germany had the same. Only we got out when it hit something like 25C in the shade at 10 or 11am (I cannot remember exactly). And no, that really didn´t happen that often!

@Daniel_Paterson 3 жыл бұрын

Another Australian here and for me the school only ever cancelled due to hot weather when it got over 50°C because it is extremely dangerous to expose yourself to that heat for prolonged periods of time; other than that, they told us to drink water and stay in the shade. I also remember school was cancelled when it was life threatening to go outside in what was basically a hurricane. Trees four metres thick were being pulled out of the ground and crushing cars and houses, lightning was striking trees all over the place, many houses went up to 2 or 3 weeks without power, and the school lost power and has lots of water damage.

Man, in a couple years i'll be a teacher and sometimes it feels like the only pastime of schoolboards and the ministry of education is to dominate pupils minds as much as possible until no class is ever missed, no test ever so slightly cheated, no homework copied from a friend no childrens mind absent. School is hard nad without allowing students little breaks in between, i honestly don't know how they're supposed to make it through the year.

All of my highschool and some of my elementary was online. While I wasn't learning before because my physical school system failed me, it did lose out on alot of activities i now enjoy, and social interaction I now lack. I learned, but at a cost.
