Students Try to Tweet Media into Announcing a Snow Day

In California, we just get rain, and only in extreme cases, is school ever cancelled for this. In other parts of the country where it snows, school calendars include "snow days" because school will be cancelled occasionally. When the weather gets bad, kids hope for a snow day. Sometimes they do more than hope.

While trying to report school closures in Tennessee Wednesday night, a news station says they received several messages from school children, trying to trick them into falsely reporting a snow day. The web director at WTVC NewsChannel 9 in Chattanooga, says one clever kid direct messaged the station on Twitter, posing as a school administrator to try and get Hamilton County Schools closed for Thursday, according to Buzzfeed. But the ploy failed to convince the journalists at the station, who were able to fact check the claim and find out that it was not true.
