Do you think your school is going to delay or close tomorrow?

From looking at the WTOP list, it seems like every single public school system and private school is closed tomorrow. . .except for JDS in Rockville, which has a 2-hour delay. Even though it's Shushan Purim. Odd.

Our students will continue to experience lack of educational continuity and academic disruption, and continue to fall ever-so-slowly behind their school counterparts in regions where snow days are few - either because those regions invest in the equipment, resources, and workforce to deal with an inhospitable winter climate (MN, WI), or because they have great weather (CA).

By the way, our regional failure to develop the resources, invest in the equipment, and hire the personnel necessary to deal with a winter climate, has the potential to depress economic growth in the region.

People, the REASON we have so many snow days now and did not " when we were kids" is because WE TOOK A SCHOOL BUS OR WALKED and our kids have to ride in car pool ( you know, the boogey man) . Centalized transportation driven by a bus driver, vs a lawyer in a Prius.

Yes, the world has changed, and in many ways, not for the better, but its not the snow.
