Sorry Kids, No Superbowl Champion Parade for You
Third Update: Bellevue, Highline, Northshore and Lake Washington are all offering excused absences to students with their parents' permission. Second Update: The Mayor tweeted: "It is my hope that the school district will excuse absences for students who want to join their family" for this event. Update: quite the number of stories around this issue. One, many people unhappy at Banda's use of "historical" versus "historic" and yes, he got it wrong. Two, Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll was asked on Monday if they should allow kids to go to the parade and he said, "Heck yeah, they should." Three, should teachers carry on no matter how many kids aren't in class? Should it be a movie day or should kids who miss that day just miss out because their parents made a choice about their attendance? Four, should we just use one snow day? Five, would it really be fair to parents who cannot have their kids sitting at home alone?...
