Ok?

My point is LCPS obviously takes into account more stakeholders than just upset teachers who wanted to be in their yoga pants. And so far as any students were “freaking out” it was probably because their teachers were telling them it was too dangerous to be in school.

Your level of delusion is extraordinary. If you seriously think teachers have any say in school calendars or delays/early releases, you are extraordinarily misinformed.

Who said a say? Their wishes were prioritized over students safety in FCPS. Not LCPS. So FCPS lost another day and LCPS lost 45 min.

Their wishes? Are you seriously implying that teachers were "polled" and their "wishes" were influential in the decision to close early?

Your hatred towards teachers is concerning, as are your paranoia and delusions. I hope you are receiving mental health help.

I’m seriously saying their representatives in FEA contacted gatehouse to say that sooo many teachers would be put at risk driving from out of county. Feel free to provide any information that this didn't happen but this is what i was told this morning.

I’m sorry to break it to you, but FCPS does not own a crystal ball. They can’t predict the exact path of a storm, the timing of a tornado warning, or the minute‑by‑minute whims of Virginia weather. They make the best decisions they can with the information they have at the time—just like every other school system in the country.

And let’s be real:
If FCPS hadn’t sent students home early and something catastrophic had happened—say a tornado actually touched down—you would be the very first people online screaming about negligence, incompetence, and “putting children in danger.” The outrage would be deafening.

So which is it?

Do you want them to act with caution, or do you want them to gamble with kids’ safety so you don’t have to adjust your afternoon schedule?

Because from the outside, it looks like some folks simply enjoy being angry. No matter what FCPS does—close, open, delay, dismiss early, hold steady—you find a way to twist it into a personal affront. That’s not civic engagement. That’s not advocacy. That’s just chronic dissatisfaction dressed up as concern.

If you’re genuinely worried about student safety, great—join the conversation in good faith. But if your only contribution is perpetual outrage, maybe take a step back and ask yourself why you’re so committed to being unhappy and being such a malcontent. There are healthier, more productive ways to engage with your community than tearing down every decision made by people who are trying to keep 180,000 students safe.

I think what some are trying to point out is that FCPS went with the least safe option. The safest option would have been to outright close. The next option would have been a delayed closing. The least safe option was to pick an operational breaking point to send kids off on buses. The tornado warning in Loudoun nearly overlapped with when FCPS was starting to dismiss students.

Luckily it was uneventful and now we can freely whine about what a waste of time it was.

Yet again, FCPS cannot predict the future. How on Earth could they have known that the tornado warning in Loudoun would be precisely at the time FCPS middle schools were dismissed? There was no way to know that the times would overlap.

Aren't you grateful it turned out to be uneventful?

Dp. Anyone who has live in Nova for more than 30 seconds could have predicted that forecast was going to be wrong. All you had to do was look at the radar last night to know that the timing of these storms was always going to be a mixed bag.

Definitely will get someone fired to win an internet argument.

You people forget no one doesn’t have a group chat of moms their kids do baseball with or neighborhood friends. None of this communication is sacred and secret and thats why no one buys the BS.

No my students were freaking out about pets at home alone, their younger siblings and nieces and nephews at daycare, etc. They thought a tornado was imminently touching down outside the school because they don’t really get how tornado warnings work and we were sitting in a windowless hall for 45 minutes.

That being said, the superintendent sent out an email that said basically all the models they saw showed storms hitting 11-2 which fell right when everyone would get out and be on the road if they did early dismissal so that’s why they kept us in school. It was a frustrating day AT school but I appreciate him explaining because the rationale makes sense even though during the day itself it felt like being the ONLY ones who didn’t have early release was us trying to prove something about not closing.

If it helps, the same fears and discussions were occurring during the 3 hours FCPS had school today. When I picked DD up she wanted to know when the tornado would start because that’s all her class talked about (and cried over) today.

Yes this was the same information available to FCPS so insofar as there was something to “prove” LCPS proved it made it’s call on the safety of students, and should be applauded for it.

If kids genuinely were “freaking out” (and I am only hearing about this here) then teachers needed to calmly explain that school is safer than home in a tornado, and that schools are commonly used as shelters during even bigger storms because they keep the people in them safe. Maybe doesn’t help with the pets concern. My 5 y/o grasps the concept no problem.

Obviously we explained it to them. Do you think I just stood there saying nothing? Or tried to amp them up? I’m simply saying, if you think explaining to kids over and over no there’s probably not really a tornado, no I don’t know if it’s raining, I’m in the windowless hallway like you are, no your mom can’t come right now, no I don’t know if we will have early dismissal and then having to try to get them to focus and do work afterward while most of them were calling their parents to get picked up was a “useful instructional day” then I think you’re living in lala land.

Yes LCPS prioritized being in school and we stayed the whole day. No it wasn’t a real day of instruction and it was mostly a mess. You weren’t there so why you’re trying to act like you know better than me what it was like is bizarre. It’s possible to say they made the right call not releasing early and the day was still an absolute dumpster fire.

Your level of delusion is extraordinary. If you seriously think teachers have any say in school calendars or delays/early releases, you are extraordinarily misinformed.

Who said a say? Their wishes were prioritized over students safety in FCPS. Not LCPS. So FCPS lost another day and LCPS lost 45 min.

Their wishes? Are you seriously implying that teachers were "polled" and their "wishes" were influential in the decision to close early?

Your hatred towards teachers is concerning, as are your paranoia and delusions. I hope you are receiving mental health help.

I’m seriously saying their representatives in FEA contacted gatehouse to say that sooo many teachers would be put at risk driving from out of county. Feel free to provide any information that this didn't happen but this is what i was told this morning.

I’m not believing this, either. Let’s play pretend for a second, however. Even if this did happen, what makes you think Gatehouse actually cares? I could call them tomorrow and say so many teachers want lobster for lunch. Think that’s going to happen?

These people are mentally deranged. My kids’ dance studio closed last night as did my gym’s childcare center and my dentist office sent an email they were closing at 2 pm and my husbands job told everyone to telework and OPM sent people home at 2 pm and I guess the teachers associations all puppeteered those closures too

You’re stupid if you don’t think the teachers’ unions have a role in these calls on when school is cancelled, when the announcement is made, etc. How soon people forget that the unions led the charge to close schools around this day in 2020, and to keep them closed for a year.

Comparing Covid closures, which happened in EVERY STATE in 2020, to a 3 hour early release … you need your internet privileges revoked

Tons of absent kids and staff, kids being dismissed all day by parent pickup, we spent 45 minutes in the hall for a tornado warning which disrupted all the kids taking the writing SOL and led to testing discrepancies. Some kids were freaking out about a tornado, nobody could focus afterward. It was a really bad really stressful day that instructionally was worthless. And that was after navigating major multiple plans for my kids about how they’d get home in the event of a regular dismissal or emergency early dismissal. I’m wiped getting home from that day. I can’t see how it was better than just having an early release and being able to plan for that and not start testing that got interrupted .

LCPS parents in my workplace were thrilled with the call. Hopefully they are in touch with leadership to express their appreciation.

Ok?

My point is LCPS obviously takes into account more stakeholders than just upset teachers who wanted to be in their yoga pants. And so far as any students were “freaking out” it was probably because their teachers were telling them it was too dangerous to be in school.

Your level of delusion is extraordinary. If you seriously think teachers have any say in school calendars or delays/early releases, you are extraordinarily misinformed.

Who said a say? Their wishes were prioritized over students safety in FCPS. Not LCPS. So FCPS lost another day and LCPS lost 45 min.

Their wishes? Are you seriously implying that teachers were "polled" and their "wishes" were influential in the decision to close early?

Your hatred towards teachers is concerning, as are your paranoia and delusions. I hope you are receiving mental health help.

I’m seriously saying their representatives in FEA contacted gatehouse to say that sooo many teachers would be put at risk driving from out of county. Feel free to provide any information that this didn't happen but this is what i was told this morning.

Provide information it happened. Like names of the Gatehouse employees who you talked to.

You’re stupid if you don’t think the teachers’ unions have a role in these calls on when school is cancelled, when the announcement is made, etc. How soon people forget that the unions led the charge to close schools around this day in 2020, and to keep them closed for a year.

That has nothing to do with tornadoes.
