New York City public school students won’t have any snow days this winter amid hybrid learning, according to state Department of Education guidelines.
Under the guidelines, if in-person classes have to be canceled because of snowstorms or other weather, students will switch to remote learning instead of having classes canceled all together.
The city is required to have 180 days of instruction under state guidelines, so officials are trying to fit in as many days of education as possible.
Now that every Yeshiva knows how to do remote learning (phone lines, Zoom etc), will they follow NYC, and children will no longer have snow days?

Last winter we were all patting ourselves on our back for having Zero snow days & zero major snowfalls, but all that came out of that was breeding grounds for Corona.
Younger students can’t do proper learning without zoom, question is if our yeshivos will permit using such technologies
BH Yeshivos don’t need to copy the public school systym we are miles ahead of them in all the important things BH (we don’t need Police and metal detectors at our schools…), and for a couple snow days a year nothing will happen if we have off.
