Our local school district has a teacher workday this Wednesday, October 31. Yep, that’s Halloween. Many teachers look upon this workday as an absolute gift from the stars above. However, there are those teachers who ponder the logic of it all. In other words, why not let the candy-filled munchkins stay home the day after Halloween? So here’s my question to each of y’all: if you were able to choose a no-student school day, would you select the day of Halloween or the day after Halloween?
Smiles,

Definitely the day after!
Definitely, definitely the day after Halloween. I am imagining that both Thursday and Friday will be incredibly long days with students being both extra tired and extra sugared up!
I find they are candy-filled the day after. I would love it if that was a work day. I love it when Halloween falls on a Saturday or Sunday…hehe.
I would prefer the day after Halloween.
Day after for sure. Our school does class parties and on Tuesday night they are having a all school Halloween party.
Its going to be a long week.
The day after!
Definitely the day after Halloween!
Definitely the day after Halloween. Give them a chance to burn some energy and get some rest.
Definitely the day after…and the day after the Super Bowl should be a no student workday, too. 🙂
I would chose the day after…
We have the worst of both – our town is doing Treat-or-Treating on Tuesday night and THEN we have our Halloween Parade and class parties on Wednesday.
Then we have to teach on Thursday and Friday – a looonng week. Not to mention changing the bulletin board calendar because Thursday is Nov. 1. All months and holiday parties should end on a Friday!
I agree, the day after makes the most sense!
My class isn’t allowed to dress up, but the teachers can (as long as it goes with a character from a book), so I love Halloween! I would prefer the day after!
I would love the day after trick or treating to be a work day. this week is going to be incredibly long even though we lost two days due to the hurricane – crazy here people still without power and tomorrow is our party so that is going to be insane, plus we have parent teacher chats on friday — these are very informal “conferences” just a chance to say this is what we are seeing do you see this it home etc. and what do they like or dislike (hope nothing!) about school!
The Day after of course!
