      Or maybe the parents were protesting the removal of snow days.

      I remember looking forward to snow days as a kid. It meant playing with family or friends in the snow, not doing schoolwork.

        My 3 year old was given a tablet in case of a snow day. No way he would be on a tablet when he could be outside playing in the snow.

          Wait, who gave them a tablet? The day care? And why? I’m confused.

            His preschool did. If school is canceled because of snow, he is supposed to use it for remote learning.

              Are 3 year olds vastly more intelligent than 2 year olds? My two year old refuses to play with electronics as intended and prefers to use them as throwing objects.
