I'm A Bit Perplexed

Tweet

My grandson has been out on Christmas break since December 22nd. He was to go back to school on Wednesday, January 4th. Due to snow, ice and treacherous road conditions there were snowdays from January 4th until January 10th. The Boise School District were sending out emails from their 'public affairs' department. So I get one on 10th that was sketchy at best. The first paragraph said what their plan was but was not plane at all. Then down at the bottom they wrote out in black font the dates and what days were school days. January 11th was not listed in that list as a snow day or regular school day but it did say 17th through 20th were regular school days. So I called a family meeting and told my grandson and daughter what I had read and my interpretation of it . We went forward with that. I slept in the next morning(January 11th because I had gotten this email and felt there was no school until January 17th) instead of getting up at the crack of dawn to check the news for snow day announcements. When I do get up on the 11th and check my emails I find an email from the school district saying it is a school day. I tell my daughter and grandson. My grandson says he is not going until the 17th. My daughter and I tell him he really needs to get back. No! I called the school and spoke a helper/social worker and I tell her the situation. She tries to talk my grandson into going back tomorrow(12th-today) No, he wont do it. So, she ends the conversation by saying that will have to be okay and when he gets back they will get with him and get the work he missed done and all will be okay. No worries. Right? So what should happen today? They have another snow day today due to ice! Can you believe it? There will probably be another one tomorrow because it is nice and sunny out. My daughter said it is slushy and there are big puddles so I will wager that tomorrow morning will be another icy one. Geesh!
