Snow Days or No Snow Days

The following argument is about whether or not children should have ‘Snow Days’. A snow day is a day when children get a day off school because of the snow. I believe we should have snow days for the following reasons.

 One reason is that driver’s cars can get stuck in the snow, preventing parents and even school staff from getting to school. It may even stop parents picking their children up from school. An event similar to this happened last year in South Lanarkshire, when over 100 pupils and staff had to sleep over in their own school,

 Also, it is dangerous for pedestrians who are walking to and from school, the reason being that they could slip and fall on the ice. A woman last year slipped and broke her wrist on the ice.

 Finally, it is too cold to be inside the school building. As the water expands when it freezes, it could burst a water pipe or even stop the heating, which could result in a flood or children and staff getting dangerously cold.

Snow days are good because it is too dangerous to get to school.
