The Great Snow Day Debate

Alright. Now, we all assume that kids love snow days. Actually, there's about a 48/48 split, with 2% indifferent or undecided. Some kids oppose snow days because you have to make them up, which takes off time from summer break. Others adore the snow. At this time on fancy blogs, they would present two expert opinions. Well, here at the Mishap Chronicles, we can't afford that. But, we turn now to our unexpert noncorrespondant, Moonlight, with his opinion as to why snow days just don't measure up! Hi, Moonlight. Mind telling us why you hate snow.
"Sure. You see, snow is terribly inconvenient for the adults. And, it extends the school year by a few days. We'd much rather be on summer break going on vacation and hanging out with our friends.Besides, most of us don't even play in the snow. It's waaay too cold!"
And now, for a counter opinion, we turn to Marshmallow, who's here to tell us why she thinks snow days are the greatest thing since hot cocoa!
"Thank you, Jessie. Now, my opponent, Moonlight, expressed the major concern of many students that summer vacation would be delayed. However, as many kids will inform you, summer vacation always gets boring after the first few weeks. Winter is near a change in semesters, and is a very stressful, strenuous time for students. We need a break. However, the last days of school are mostly wasted on busy work. And, one other important thing. You can only see snow in winter. Not during summer break."
Right. Well, domo arigato to both of you. Ciao!
