Thanks for the report. WTF?

Our neighborhood has not been plowed and roads are pure ice right now. I don't think there will be school Friday either.

They won't wake up till 12.


Yesterday my kid went to sleep at 4M
4 AM
I Can't believe he was wide awake watching a show from the 1960s-1970s. I guess they ran out of things to do and watch.

And then we wonder why education is so bad? Look at this person. Just wants to laze around.

??? While you completely fail as a parent, others are trying to make sure their kids are doing something useful with their time. Your kid will fall further behind in school while others get ahead.

I’m kind of glad that I don’t have to go out in these winds, but I would still rather have school open.

I mean, what are they going to do? The roads are solid ice.

On another note, WHERE IS THE SALT?????

It's completely dangerous in some neighborhoods. I guess some are lucky that they can actually drive on a road that is not icy to a school that is actually open, but that's not the case in many n'hoods.

You're okay with your kid sleeping all day?

As someone that can telework I love having my kids in the house, but I completely understand the frustration of those that need to burn time off because their work doesn't afford them the same benefit, then they go outside, and things look perfectly normal in their neighborhood and school.

The truth of it is FCPS is too large for its own good, it would be preferable to have smaller districts (or independent subdivisions that are empowered to make their own decisions) that are more local and that can better respond to local needs.

Huh? Of course not. I've already got their activities planned out. What about you?

I'm going to pull my obnoxious midwesterner card here - snow and ice are not hot lava. You can drive on it. Just take it slow.

The sidewalk thing is even more mind-boggling. The kids have been out playing in the snow for 4 days but now they can't walk on a snowy/icy sidewalk? Come on.
