Clearly other districts are thinking the same way. Unless MCPS also controls Howard and Baltimore and Fairfax? Heck, Fauquier and Loudoun closed.
They're just really angry and won't take no for an answer. I prefer they express their anger over here than they slap their kids or start screaming at home, honestly. They don't look very mentally stable. No one halfway normal would get this bothered over a school decision!
Lol I think most of us are just perplexed. Thankfully we don't need beforecare and can take our kid to the childcare when it opens at 9.
The rest of the world is operating normally. It's weird they can't even open offices on time and reeks of laziness.
Except this isn't true. The surrounding counties have also called for a 2 hr delay. I'm an expat who has lived in several first world countries: the ones with similar climates to the mid-Atlantic ALSO close in these conditions, because they don't get ice every winter and choose not to risk the safety of their residents when many aren't used to it. It's only when I lived in far northern Europe, where every winter is continual snow and ice, that they were equipped to deal with it day in, day out. The kids there have snow overalls to go to school, you can get grippy snow boots at every corner shop, etc. It's the lifestyle.
So no, you're actually entirely wrong. A region who deals with really hot summers and occasional icy winters should be cautious when there's ice.
