Snow day

[Anonymous]

Y’all are so dramatic. It hasn’t snowed in 4 days. The roads are fine. Grow up.

Yup! If I’m going to be treated like a babysitter than babysitter I will be.

How is this good? Good for who exactly? A lot of roads in residential areas and around schools are not plowed yet and are now turning to ice. School buses cannot pass into many neighborhoods and with a delay you are just messing up working parents schedules. Only brain dead clueless people would do such a thing. Or privileged stay home moms with huge SUVs who are too bored and have nothing to do but drive their kids around.

Why can't school buses drive over crusty snow? Every other vehicle can.

It's compacted ice now and many areas here are hilly. Our regular car has issues, we don't have 4x4. People whose residential streets are plowed do not understand how many areas still haven't seen a single plow, and these areas happen to be those with hills where school buses have to go up/down hills.

Anyway, please tell me how this benefits you or your kids to go have a 3 hour appointment at your local school tomorrow only to go back to a weekend routine. What exactly are you so desperate to do to need so badly to get rid of your kids for measly 4 hours if that. I don't need busy work, I work full time already.

Such a terrible call. It’s really awful for the middle and high school kids. If they choose to stay home, they are very likely gonna miss content and be behind with missing assignments. Elementary kids can stay home and be fine. Terrible call.

I am happy to babysit my own kids while working a job with deadlines/deliverables in order to not have to deal with driving them back and forth to diff schools on icy hilly roads and dealing with extra HW BS on a weekend.

Great news! Hopefully this means community use is open this weekend for the gyms. We don't have any spare gym space to reschedule all our rec league games and its a real pain.

Yes, school buses are more fragile than a 1984 Civic.

Exactly!! 2 hour delay makes lives harder for all working parents, teachers, and kids. This was an idiotic move by Reid and the surrounding counties as well

Trust me, I don't plan on any new content tomorrow. I will go over behavior norms (and doing it again on Monday since many kids will be out tomorrow) and a review assignment that most kids will refuse to do since its a half-day Friday right after a 3 week break lol.

Kids need to be back in school. All my kids have sustained serious injuries this week sledding. If it’s all about safety, then school is safer than home!

You can see other people's roads from your screen? There had been plenty of threads on it on Nexdoor, many streets have not seen a single plow including residential streets that are near schools and where school buses stop. It's ice.

I am not sending my kids to school, it's stupid. I don't have time to be driving them to "movies".

Any chance they will change their minds at around 4 AM to make this no school for the day? The plan mentions promises of plows working through the night. I am not sure that is going to cut it.

Does this turn into a closure later tonight?

Yep. Classes are one hour tomorrow. We are reaffirming the cell phone policy and making sure nobody thinks the break means they don’t have to put their phone anymore, probably doing some independent reading and a response and then doing a review of our grammar skill. Not enough time for new content. Let alone half the kids won’t be there. Your kids will be fine to miss and pick up for real on Monday.
