1. Why should finals that they took on Tuesday, now not count if they negatively impact the student's grade, because they postponed Wednesday's finals? That makes no sense. They knew they had these finals and they were taken when they should have been.

2. Why should finals that they now take in January (after having 3 full weeks to prepare for them now) not count if they negatively impact the student's grade. You had 3 additional weeks to prepare. The horror, how the hell did I manage my way through high school when my finals were all after Christmas break...

It's more of the freaking "celebrate mediocrity" that our schools have embraced. We don't celebrate and encourage excellence any longer, instead we drag people down to the average...
I agree with you if this was the standard operating plan.

But it's an unplanned interruption. They aren't celebrating mediocrity. It's just a response to a situation that wasn't planned.

Once again...

1. How does Wednesday's finals being delayed have an impact on Tuesdays finals? Those should count whether they help or hurt the student. They were taken when they were supposed to and that's how it was supposed to work.

2. How does giving someone an extra 3 weeks to prepare for the delayed finals justify that you don't count them unless they help the student. You got 3 extra weeks to prepare. That's not some hardship, if anything, it's a lifeline...

Seriously did it do anything in Lincoln today? I was in GI today and made it back to Kearney in the last 30 minutes. There were a couple slick spots turning off side roads, but I can’t see a reason to cancel anything until tonight going into tomorrow.
 
haha yes, yes i do.

hoping for not much accumulation today. wind will be the x-factor. i can always stop in Grant on the drive home and stay at my cousins if its nasty.

not ideal timing, but is what it is
Grant! Hey hey, close to my stomping grounds lol. TPB meetup at DJ's? lol jk, imma be tucked in bed all day tomorrow. Good luck with the Denver trip tho. I aint worried about driving in nasty weather, except for all those other crazies on the road!
 
Hope everyone stays warm. Got my big snowblower and generator filled with gas. -45 wind chills with couple inches of snow. Let's go
Where are you at? I’m central NE. Expect 2-3" that’ll blow away but cold tomorrow! Friend in Harrison, NE who is a rancher but has ground in Lusk, WY has wind chills -70°.

I'm wearing my brass jockstrap as we speak. Keeps you awake and alive. GBR

Fuck the cold.
Humble brag, senior year we went deep into the playoffs in football. But there was back to back weeks where it was windchill in the negatives during the games. Ever since then my fingers and toes are definitely more sensitive to the cold and I despise the cold. As a farmer and rancher I really hate January and February
