Drive your child to school. Don’t put your child in a dangerous situation.

We do but there were MS kids walking down the busy Kirby road since the sidewalk is inaccessible. It looked frightening as a parent.

MS parent here. We are driving too and have been. Shocked there is no delay tomorrow. Reid is an absolute moron and a coward.

If you have to drive your MS kid so early in the morning, why are you up at 1:08am posting your dumb outrage. You’re the moron here. And a coward for posting on an anonymous forum.

And yet here you are also posting. If you don’t have a MS kid why are you up so freaking early? Moron.

MCPS was full day last Thursday and Friday and I can assure you the roads and sidewalks are not any better there.

Guess what? Everyone is fine! You’ve got to stop coddling your kid. They can walk on top of snow. They can dress warmly and carry a coat around. Most of them choose not to anyway; that’s on them. You have to get back to school sooner or later.

I think you’re the coward. Can’t handle getting to school on time two weeks after it snowed because it’s cold out? How do you function as an adult?

And you can’t handle a simple 2 hour delay. Loser.

We can’t have 2 hour delays forever. The snow has melted a lot and our street is not plowed well at all.

DP. At some point you and all the doomsayers need to come to grips with the fact that you have a skewed perception of risk. The people who were upset that schools opened at all last week, and upset about no delay today, made all sorts of predictions about the terrible things that would happen. And none of them did. Maybe look at your tendency to catastrophize and realize that it's not healthy.

+1 where are all the reports about the various tragedies that struck all of the students that had to get to school on time today?

Oh wait.

The point is that those accidents *could* happen under certain circumstances, not that they will. I’m glad they didn’t and that everyone is safe.

I am glad everyone is okay, but you can’t use the fact that no tragedies occurred to assert that we took *no* risk by opening. Risk assessment doesn’t measure what *will* happen but what *could* happen. I’m a cautious person, so I am less comfortable with the “could” than others.

Luckily, the snow will melt soon - tomorrow afternoon? - so we won’t have to

There is always a risk when students travel to school. There is never *no* risk. That's simply not one of the options.

They have had 2 hr delays for extreme cold before.

The people that never want school to open because of risk, or because of health concerns are all the same! It gives me PTSD.
Also Truly astounding are those who wanted a delay because of the Super Bowl.
