The Problem

After a harsh winter, your school has missed several days due to inclement weather. Should teachers and students be required to make-up all of that lost time? If so, what is the most practical way to do so?

What happens to a snow day when it’s gone?

Students will review different scenarios and then divide into smaller groups to decide how to make-up school days lost due to inclement weather.
