Yup, especially when they are specifically referring to conditions up county, which should not be a reason to close childcare downcounty. But it's also just about what I expected from these jerks at this point...

Conditions uncounty shouldn't close anything downcounty, but apparently we're in some snow suicide pact together

Even if a child-care provider wants to open, they often depend on access to locked facilities, building heat and utilities, custodial snow removal, security or emergency protocols, right?

When MCPS closes, that infrastructure shuts down too.

In previous years, offices didn’t close every time schools did.
“Out of an abundance of caution” doesn’t square with declaring Code Red instead of Code Orange.

Exactly. Very much reads like "Sorry, not sorry we wanted to give our people the day off..if you need to work tomorrow, go f&ck yourself"

Right! Us down county folks in rich north Bethesda by the lake don’t care about the poors in up county

In what way does closing child care downcounty help up county?

NP. People who here don't have any idea how childcare works often have strong opinions that it should be closed.

No, MCPS closing does not shut off heat and utilities to buildings.

Essential workers are supposed to report. No reason why they shouldn't be at schools tomorrow getting them ready to open on Tuesday.

MCPS just wants to give their office workers the day off because they are the most entitled laziest people in the country and they are also bizarrely insecure so they need to wave their dicks around and show they can f&CK with every else's day whenever they choose.

Exactly! People don’t ever get into car crashes in icy coditions in down county. And the poors in north county don’t make enough as we do in down county. They should be begging to work. My child can no longer miss class less they give on Harvard and have to settle with … UMCP. I shudder at the thought

Look I get being drunk is really fun but it is really not good for you and I don't think it is helping your mental health

In case you didn’t catch it, because that message was so long and poorly written (not to mention tone deaf—“upcounty looking icy like a slip and slide”), last day of school is now June 26. Very bottom of the message.

Thankfully I don't have to drive drunk to work tomorrow like I do most days. I can skip the facade of irishing up my coffee and just go straight to 7 am beers.

The issue isn’t whether the furnace is on. It’s that once the district declares roads and conditions unsafe for systemwide operations, they’re not going to selectively open school facilities to a subset of kids under a different program. That’s a liability and logistics decision, not a “let’s mess with working parents” conspiracy.

You can argue MCPS is too cautious about snow. Fine. But the idea that this is about “office workers being lazy” is unserious. Closing a 200+ school district affects transportation, food service, custodial crews, security, and building access. It’s not a vibe-based call so someone downtown can sleep in.

Criticize the threshold if you want. The name-calling just makes the argument weaker.

No one cares. There is no instruction on make-up days. Seasoned MCPS parents will tell you this.
