There is NOWHERE to take kids that’s not a park or the Ecotarium (which is lovely but gets old after 5 visits a year).

We have to leave Worcester for every single birthday party and to keep them busy on weekends and holidays. Yesterday we just sat inside because going somewhere to do something for our kid means driving to Westborough or Leominster and we don’t always feel like doing that. It’s a constant conversation with other parents about how crappy Worcester is when you have kids to entertain.

To bring back sky-lite and more outlets for youth the new Boys & Girls club is impossible to find and little league baseball has had a major drop off …I’m not saying it’s a must but having stuff to do help them interact it’s tough to grow up these days

From the way the article is written, it doesn't sound like they want to make it a requirement for children to learn on a snowday, but instead creating something to allow them to do stuff at home to learn.

That's the impression I got from this.

However, that being said. Snowdays are perhaps one of the best things that we have as a part of our local culture. Growing up in New England, snow days were one of those things that one looks back upon fondly as an adult.
