So sorry your public school experience was so poor - I loved school when I was learning, when I got bored I would draw or do something else. I am awful at taking notes, but am okay with that. Upper grades were more fun as there were challenging things to learn. Didn't like all my teachers, but learning I did like. And the college I attended didn't require much note taking, so it was all good!

I did love snow days, though! Stay home, bake cookies, play Monopoly or read and shovel!
