There was a brief moment last night when, after the school board canceled school for Super Tuesday, we thought we might have an extra day off, too. After all, snow days have been few and far between this year, and they are built into our schedule. It was not to be however, for not 15 minutes later we all received an email about a professional development commitment.
I was disappointed, but I understood; the message included an apology for the short notice and acknowledgement of our hard work. In fact they had me until I read the part that said As lifelong learners, we hope you will see this as an opportunity to participate in professional development that will expand your knowledge and skills in how you teach your students.
Because rather than encouraging? That was just patronizing.
