Thank you! Glad teachers are moving ahead.

Glad your streets were plowed and you have flexibility at work or SAH to be able to take your kids to school on a weird last minute schedule. Ours are icy hills with piles of snow/ice and not passable by school buses. And I don't get paid time off or able to reschedule work meetings based on a last minute whim to reopen the schools on a Friday for a short day.

You have to make the decisions best for your family, but that doesn't mean the rest of the world stops until you're ready. The beat goes on.

Funny because you like to act like everyone needs to go with the flow but you and those liked you seemed to tantrum over the calls all week. Sounds like you couldn't deal with that beat.

Pendelum swings both ways. Today was fine. And if it wasn't for you, there's always Monday.

This. Spot on. As long as the "beat" meets your needs everyone should be going with that beat, but once it doesn't...

And this snow just shows how stupid the excessive school holidays are before January.

We get it you don't want to be around your kids.

It does so stop crying when it doesn't go your way.

I am the poster who wrote the "beat goes on" message. You must be confused because I haven't had a single tantrum this week about anything. Juggling show, work, kids at home or not, etc. - it's all part of life and not worth the stress you seem to embody.

The flow, as you called it, during the week is that schools are open unless there is a critical need to close them. Your inability to handle getting out of your neighborhood seems like a personal problem and not an issue for the rest of us.

You are being smug.
I am hardly an outlier in this. I wouldn't be posting if this was a one-off type of thing that happens when kids get sick, travel, etc. This is a problem affecting many people today, and some schools are affected more than others depending if they are in the plowed/unplowed areas and/or serve majority of plowed/unplowed neighborhoods. I am glad "the beat goes on" for you in whatever race you are running that you think is going to get you further than those who had to skip one half school day
So far you are succeeding in your smugness

You should probably log off DCUM since you are so busy with your job that doesn't off paid time off or the ability to reschedule anything. That must be hard to balance with all your anonymous posting.

Nothing at all was last minute. We learned about the 2-hour delay yesterday afternoon.

I had a heavy morning schedule, afternoon less than 24 hours notice is tough for many professions. You got your way and your kids out of the house, why post? Did your massage and Pilates get cancelled today or something?

The same notice we got the first four days this week? Nobody GAF if your Zoom calls got disrupted as you parented your kid to school this morning.

There would not be a 200+ page locked post had this not been an issue to "the rest of us" It got nasty precisely because it was an issue for enough people.
