Well your high school's teachers should have left their homes a little earlier then.

I teach HS. My colleague left his house at 5:30am and didn't get here utnil 7:45.

how much earlier should he have left?!?!?!!?!?

It wasn't even snowing at 5:30am this morning. Total BS.

I live past Ashton. It was snowing around 5:30.

I left at 6 am for work - also a high school teacher. It took me over an hour to get there, which was good compared to what some of my other colleagues went through. I only got held up by two accidents . . .



But yes, I could have left at 5:30, too. Would that have made you happy?

If you teach HS why are you on DCUM and not teaching your students?

Teacher PP posted at 11:30 am. In high schools, that's around lunch time. Furthermore, there's something called a planning period, and PP can choose to use it in this manner if s/he prefers. After all, how many of you "office workers" are on DCUM during work hours? FAR, FAR too many

You're a goddamn moron.

So you would have wanted schools closed yesterday. As has been pointed out, a 2-hour delay would not have been a good fix for all 3 bus schedules in MCPS.

My DC said a number of kids had (luckily minor) accidents. Luckily mine went late so wasn't driving with all the other teen drivers. But not sure it would have been better at 9? Apparently it wasn't better at 8 when mine went.
