    Alternative Methods of Instruction (AMI) is literally being inserted into family life. But how fair is a system that depends heavily on how structured home life is on snow days? Kristina and Nicholas talk snow days for their kids and his school's AMI.
    After the snowstorm, Kristina and Nicholas discuss the opportunistic political boobytraps of AMI that might be (un)intentionally helping school choice arguments.
