Seen yesterday around the halls of an unnamed middle school in Virginia, a variation of some type of rain dance, visions of school cancellations frolicking about student minds. A few teachers’ minds too.

Hurricane Ida, like all hurricanes (even when “downgraded” to tropical storms) is no laughing matter. Thankfully my schoolmates and I are far from the major brunt of the storm, so the theatrics were just that.

Still, though, you never know.

Remember… last March 11 I didn’t think they’d close down the schools for a year either.
