Funny school stories

When I was an active blogging superintendent of schools, one the most popular features on the blog was “Friday’s Funnies.”  This was the day I tried to share at least one funny story about children.

I know…it’s not Friday!  But perhaps since it’s Monday you may need a chuckle more than ever.  Here is one sent to me this week from Principal Randy Polston and Principal Dennis Duncan from Warsaw, Indiana!

From Randy direct:

We actually had a parent call the school today and ask my secretary for a new calendar.  My secretary told her she would send a new Jan. calendar home with their child.  The parent said, “No, I need a new updated Jan. calendar that shows the snow days on it.”  My secretary asked, “You mean the make up days we have built in to the school calendar?”  The parent said, “No, I need a calendar that shows when the school will have a snow day.  Just like this morning, I had no idea that the school district was going to be delayed due to snow on the roads so please send me a calendar that shows which days will be delayed or canceled due to snow.”
ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  My secretary had to explain to this parent that we don’t have that information before it happens.

Maybe Principal Polston can get a job as a Meterologist and make a billion dollars a year if he can predict all the snow cancellations a year in advance!
