Many reasons, but few dispute the reduction of student-in-class hours are part of the debacle.

Covid-years brought out millions spent to allow homeschooling via ZOOM-style education.
Today, increased truancy and expansion of the "abundance-of-caution" mentality has enabled weather/fear of violence/building maintenance issues etc. to increasingly shut down in-school teaching.
More so on Fridays/Mondays.
Yet, few (any?) schools have moved to ZOOM-teaching when events temporally "force" schools to be closed.
Would you like to see "snow days" replaced by "Zoom-days"?
