Missing two school days due to inclement weather generally does not affect class schedules very much, however when they are right before finals and the six weeks grading period is only five weeks, it can be stressful for teachers to pack in all the information in time.

The school’s closure for two days has left many teachers condensing the workload into a shorter amount of time in order to finish all the material necessary that needs to be learned before finals week.

“What we are going to have to do is compress the schedule,” pre-calculus teacher Andrew Stallings said. “We are taking a quiz day, and instead of it being a quiz it is going to be an in class open notes daily grade. On the same day, I am handing out the review for the 1.1-1.2 test, so we are doing two things in one day to try to catch up.”

The same things can be said for geometry classes as they are taking drastic measures because of the lack of time to learn the material.

“We are moving part of a unit and postponing it until after Christmas and we are cutting the unit in half,” geometry teacher Crystal Smith said. “We are going to take a test over half of the unit, then start preparing for finals and finish the unit after Christmas break.”

The unexpected days off of school did not affect all classes however, as students were expected to stay current and continue learning even though school was not in session.

“The students had the information on Schooltown so we kept the schedule,” AP World History teacher Kevin Finn said. “It didn’t really affect us.”

The crammed schedule not only stresses teachers but also students who have to do more work in less time.

“They are rushing all of our tests and we are missing out on projects that could have been fun,” senior Phi Phan said. “Now they expect us to take tests a week after a bunch of other tests and that is what I am mad about.”
