How cute.
We got about 40” of snow over the last week.
Edit - we had 48” at my house.

Your roads suck by the way. I had to go into Anchorage last Friday for a funeral for one of my former players (he was the one beat to death outside of a nightclub) and couldn’t believe how many one lane roads there were.

Yeah pretty sad deal. I was just a jv coach his senior year but his brother played for me for 4 years, high school and AAU, and then later coached with me very several years. So I was pretty close with the family.

What makes sports different in rural Alaska is you spend a lot of time sleeping in classrooms due to long road trips or flights. This leads to you forming some pretty close knit bonds with kids. In 13 years of teaching I’ve easily had over 10 former students or players die from various things.

I was reading this already planning on making a Sandusky joke “sleeping in classrooms” “close knit bond with kids” but then you went and ruined it by making me sad with a ton of kids dying.


(Kids dying or kids getting sick is the ultimate Trump card. I can’t even watch those damn St Jude’s commercials cuz they make me tear up.)

Man, sorry to hear about your player. I briefly heard about it yesterday afternoon, but I didn't hear any details.
That sucks.

Our roads have definitely been garbage. Lake Otis is still one-lane all the way across town.
We got a lot of snow, but it feels like there are prioritization issues preventing the main thoroughfares from being cleared.

What a joke LPS is...

Finals weeks for our high schoolers. Monday was supposed to be a regular day, with Finals on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. On Monday, they decide that because there might be bad weather on Thursday, that they'll redo the schedule and put finals on Tuesday and Wednesday. Tuesday goes off as planned. Last night they send an e-mail out saying that they are going to cancel classes for Wednesday because of the weather and they'll have to make up their finals in January when they come back to school. Of course, there's literally no reason why they couldn't have had school today (cancelled the lunch that was built into the schedule) and gotten them out early.

Now they send an e-mail saying that the finals that they take in January will only count if it helps their grade and won't count if it hurts their grade. Oh, and they're going to retroactively do that to the finals that they took on Tuesday.

What a joke our education system has become.

I thought high school was easy in the early 2000s

Completely different schools but my kids probably do more/is harder in high school than I did in college. It's not even fucking close comparing my high school and theirs.

Must be. Never heard of finals only counting if they help your GPA.

A one off situation is different than comparing school as a whole. All depends on the kid too. We didn't have AP/Honors classes at Yutan so the smart kids were taking the same classes as the not smart kids. I'm sure you can get through school taking the easiest path possible and it's not hard at all.

We are back to square one regarding plowing. It's sunny but we have a blizzard warning due to 60 mph winds. It's blowing around that powdery snow like mad and drifts are bad. I went to school to grade finals and we were told to leave or plan on staying for the weekend. Thankfully one of the teachers had a plow on his truck otherwise I'm not sure we would have gotten out.
