So when do you propose MCPS opens? It’s not going to be above freezing until Tuesday, and then it’ll only be a high of 35. After that, the next above freezing day is Feb 10th at 39 degrees.

Ok. Feb 10th then. Or when the County has cleared the school bus routes. The 13,000+ bus stops. ALL 211 schools including parking lots. Walkways and sidewalks along walking routes to and front school, crosswalks. Shall we go on?

So you don’t care about education, I see. Some people are like that.

You're responding to a troll. No one thinks those are reasonable expectations during the middle of winter! We can live with snow.

No. You just want free childcare under the pretense of pretending to care about education.

Nope. My kid doesn’t go to MCPS. I just pay property taxes into a system that’s too crappy for me to even want to send her to.

But as it happens, the general social arrangement is:

Adults work
Kids go to school

The former doesn’t work well without the latter. It’s not “free childcare.” It’s a working society.

+1 I don’t know why some nuts on this forum seem to attack anyone who wants their child educated as “someone who hates spending time with their children.” I can only conclude that these people are not very bright.

Be serious - if this one storm is enough to jeopardize your child’s entire education then you have problems a snowplow can’t solve.

Seriously. If Larlo can't make it to college because Monday is closed and possibly a few more days this week, it's on YOU

It’s not about Larlo not making it to college. It’s about MCPS systematically shortchanging students of all ages instructional hours by refusing to build in adequate snow day, refusing to even submit a plan for virtual learning instruction to the state the way other Maryland school districts did and preferring to add half days in the end of June that contain zero instructional value.

It’s totally reasonable for parents to not want kids to miss more than a week of school. It’s the pandemic all over again. Stores and in-person workplaces are open, but oh no, it’s just not possible to open schools.

It is eerily similar to that time when it was just two weeks to flatten "the snow"

+1. If MCPS thinks what they're offering at school doesn't matter, we need to make some pretty different budgetary choices as a county.

They shouldn't do virtual. That would be shortchanging them even more. They should use the contingency days in order.

Ah so you want virtual learning and are going to hyper complain about street clearing to further the argument that we need to waste time and money on crappy ineffective virtual school. Got it

I'm sure it's roughly the same people, too.

While they figure out about this week, DEVELOP a virtual plan. CLIMATE CHANGE.

No one is asking for virtual all the time (ok maybe some posters and mcps parents are/were). Have virtual for weeks like this. It doesn't have to be an all day thing. A few hours of synchronous time with teacher and class, and some asynchronous work with check in.

We already pay thousands of dollars a year into a system that’s crappy enough that we don’t even send our kid there. I’m really not inclined to pay even more into it.

Why are you here if your kids don't even go to MCPS? Are you the same poster insisting kids should ice skate to school come what may?

We've had enough of your nonsense
