Snow Days
Emily Olson 4777 Northfield Pkwy, Troy, MI 48098 12/17/2017 Snow Days Dear Mrs. Birmingham, I am writing you to discus my concerns with the recent snow day. As you know, school was cancelled for the day due to poor weather conditions; however, the varsity basketball teams were allowed to have practice. I, as well as my fellow classmates, am very satisfied with a day off from the stress of school, but I am not as pleased with the fact that we still had basketball practice. By closing school but not basketball practice it seems to me that sports are more important than our academics. It was more critical that we get into the school to play basketball for two hours than we learn for six. I would have to agree. It is far more important to get the extra two hours of practice that is so badly needed for our game that is a week away! Furthermore, I would agree that it is so important that we should risk our own safety! The roads were not safe enough for the average student
