 | The robocalls, the text messages, and the emails are taking away the anticipation of school cancellations for snow and ice. There, I said it. Some of us remember waking up on a school day, looking out the window to see the white lawn, and wondering. Some of us remember turning on the TV in the living room, the radio in the dining room, and waiting to see the scroll or hear the announcement that our district was on the list. |
Remember that? And then we would wait to see it scroll again and again: was that really our district, or did I misread it. Did they really say our school's name, or was it just something similar?
Today's kids are missing the anticipation. Instead, they know as soon as the decision is made. They know the night before. The call comes directly into our houses. It's just not the same.
