Let students have their snow days like normal.
Students should be allowed their snow days as normal.
Many students look forward to snow days and with the current situation, many also need a break from the stress of online school (and probably the teachers too!). Had Covid-19 not been here students and teachers would have had their snow day. Why should this change?
Also not all teachers have the facilities to set work for the students at home and it is unfair to expect them to come into school when the roads are unsafe.
Let students and teachers have some normality in these difficult times.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
The decision to close a school, or suspend teaching, due to the weather is a matter for individual schools and local authorities, not the UK Government or Parliament.
