Will DCPS be closed tomorrow (Wednesday)?

[Anonymous]

If they will not open tomorrow, why would they open Thursday? It’s gonna be below freezing for a week at least.

The federal government open tomorrow, with one hour delay.

Hopefully, at some point, someone will actually plow the streets. With a heavy duty snow plow.

The streets are plowed. Maybe not all the tiny ones, but the rest are.

Yes, I'm sure Georgia Avenue was easy to drive down at 4pm this afternoon after multiple passes with snowplows and spending much of the day in the sun with cars driving over it to heat up the road.

And overnight, the melted snow on the road is going to freeze solid into black ice, the snow plowed in the parking lane is going to freeze solid into slippery little mountains obstructing cars and pedestrians. Any sidewalks that were fully cleared on Monday will be good, every other sidewalk will be a slippery mess. And it will be 10 degrees during morning rush, in a city where it rarely dips below freezing more than a handful of times in the winter, so plenty of kids don't even own proper snow boots or waterproof mittens.

Y'all do not understand how bad it was going to be tomorrow if they reopened. Even with a two hour delay, school's would be half empty and kids would be doubling up classrooms with teachers out and subs unable to get in.

AND WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE! You could just go out and drive around and see for yourself. It's not that bad. This all seems a tad silly.

No, what is no big deal is just keeping kids home an extra day.

But by all means, I encourage you to go drive around tomorrow morning and see for yourself. Enjoy! I'm gonna sleep in.

You can sleep in because you don't have to report first thing in the morning at work. Or teach 8:30am undergrad class online. So entitled.

Closed due to one day not being a big deal.

Someone who teaches an 8:30 am class from their living room to undergrads is calling other people entitled? Didn’t you just have a month off from teaching. And you can wake up at what, 8:15 to teach this class? You are really out of touch.

Love these teachers who think going to school is not important. And we wonder why our test scores are worse than Mississippi's.

You have freaking no idea. We also have to go to the university for many in-person meetings. A month off? You had no clue how hard faculty work in the university. Thesis committee, faculty interview, may administrative work, grants reviewing, peer reviewing, mentoring 100 independent studies, and teaching.

I walked to the grocery store today, stepping over snow piles at crosswalks. I survived. Those piles shouldn't keep anyone from going to school.

These are CHILDREN. For the love of God think about someone outside of yourselves for once.

Children love snow! Playing, walking, sledding…

Slipping on it and falling into busy streets!

Feel free to write your representative about having school open in the summer rather than the winter so your precious snowflake doesn't have to risk going outside in the snow and ice.

We get it. You’re angry, because you’re sick of your kids, but that’s a You Problem.

I swear teachers told us during covid that school isn't child care.

You actually thought that A. this was a cute, clever retort and B. you’d made some sort of valid point.

Astonishing.

Many in person meetings? Sounds tough.
