It's no wonder kids don't have an education

Seriously? Letting kids out just because of a game? and further more, letting them out knowing that haven't won the game yet?

Kids will be up late regardless most likely.

Fiancee is not happy that last weeks snow day made Mondays teacher workday get canceled, as she was all for staying at our friends later with the kids.

Have you ever talked with a Saints fan? They obviously don't teach English in their Government School curriculum.

This is an excellent opportunity for a "teaching moment". Older aint's fans can spent Monday teaching the new and younger 'bandwagoners" the art of suffering thru an agonizing defeat. I know most of these young fans don't know what a paper bag is , but it should be used as a teaching aid.

A combination of ESPN, the Saints, poo like this cancelling school business, and Saint J have made me hate the city of New Orleans.

Indianapolis is doing the same thing.

The University of Alabama cancelled classes for three days for the BCS championship.

Did you forget how bullshit public schooling is? who cares?

[Gman was right]

See, THIS is why New Orleans is a real football town unlike Charlotte. There was no talk of canceling classes when the panthers were in the super bowl in 03. Kudos to the city of New Orleans for this. This is what a true football town is like people. Ive even heard about schools in Cleveland that sat kids in time out for wearing steeler jerseys. Thats what Im talking about! Charlotte would only consider canceling classes if one of those hillbilly Nascar drivers from this area won a race.

A football game is not more important thatn education.

However:

One day, who cares. More than that would be excessive, though.

School wasn't so bad up until the later years, then it became a joke.

Where did you hear this rumor?

You got me, I made it up. :angelsad2:

[SmootsDaddy89]

Who gives a poo? I nominate this for dumbest thread of the day. One day of school isn't going to permanently retard the educational advancement of the schoolchildren in New Orleans. Plus half of them would just skip anyway.

there will probably be a make up day
