A delay to make sure school grounds and routes were passable held back the long-awaited return to class in New London after six snow days.
Parents said their daily routines are much easier with the kids at school.
"He's a wild kid and needs to be around other children and stuff," Michaela Johnson said of her son. "They need to be in school – better than stuck at home. They get cabin fever."
Students, however, have a different take on snow days.
"My baby's not very happy," said Sunni Bazam. "He don't [sic] want to go to school. He wants to play in the snow."
What the snow days do to the public schools' calendar is up to the New London Board of Education. The superintendent did not return our phone call Tuesday.
