What's better than...

Today on facebook I was chatting with my friend, Kat(Kathy) who is also a teacher, but not here in Hohenwald. Anyway, I typed, " what is better than a snow day." You think students get excited about snow days? Have you ever been around a group of teachers when the news is sprung that "we are going to be out" of school the next day?

Oh, my word!!! We get just a tad happy. Now, like my niece Clare would say, "and your point is?" My point is that got me thinking about that phrase, "what is better than."

So here are some "what is better than's" that came to mind. . .
