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

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.

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

Oh please shut up. If school opened on time, you’d be screaming about how dark and cold and unsafe it is for kids to go. If school was closed completely, you’d be screaming about how kids are losing instructional time. Nothing satisfies your black hole of anxiety and entitlement.

One thing is clear from this thread, we are ALL (myself included) very fragile, lol.

Such a lovely attitude you teachers have. No wonder morale is low. You all do nothing but complain. What a toxic workplace many of you must have, of your own making.

Ironic that this comment is more mean spirited and toxic than the original tongue-in-cheek one. And reveals a lot to automatically assume this is coming from a teacher

Actually I’d be jumping for joy if school was closed!

+100 Reid caved to the pressure of the screaming parents who need childcare.

I didn’t scream (or send anyone anything). I don’t need childcare - my kids are old enough. But I’m very happy they are going to school tomorrow. Not only do we not have to figure out rescheduled athletics, but they also get to see their friends and teachers after a very long break. There is no reason to keep schools closed just because it’s Friday. They can get some short reviews in.

Hi, no she didn't. Because those parents were screaming yesterday and the day before that. The weather / conditions / melt has gotten significantly better today, so they are able to open. It being a Friday is not relevant to the equation.

Reopening for half a day doesn't help parents who work FULL TIME. this is only helping SAHMs who want their kids out of the house for a few hours. It only creates extra work for working parents having to drive kids around at odd times and also dealing with extra assignments that come out of it, which is all burden on parents for zero benefit whatsoever. Again, ladies of leisure win here and working parents get stuck with extra chores.

+1. Maybe SAHMs should “do their job” instead of harassing these poor teachers

There is a reason to not complicate lives of many many people whose streets are full of ice and have not seen a single plow, plus parents who work full time and are busy in the mornings. Nobody cares about you missing your facial or wanting to do laundry in peace or being bored and needing to feel busy.

Who’s whining and stomping their feet now?! You all are such hypocrites. “HaNdLe It” as you love to say.

They can see their friends and teachers on Monday. Not like they’re going anywhere.

Actually, I'm PP who works full time and this helps me immensely. But I'm mostly just happy for my kid, who is so excited to go back.

And I thought all the stay at home moms you speak of (I think I know two, maybe three, in my kid's entire grade) have already planned weekend getaways and are heading out of town?

And I don’t want to drive in icy conditions for after school activities that are tomorrow night. Any chance after school activities will get canceled?
