How authorities SHOULD decide school or no school

[Anonymous]

1--Safety of children
2--Safety of staff
3--Are buses able to run
4--Are school buildings able to function


How they SHOULD NOT decide:

1--Will parents be able to take the day off, find daycare, stand being around their kids?
2--What would they do in Kansas? Michigan? Alaska? Russia? Iceland?
3--What did people do 10 20 30 40 years ago?
3--Will DCUM parents whine and cry about it?

1-are parents going to send their kids to school in shorts
2-do staff need a break from the children
3-will children be getting frostbite because the bus driver was chatting too long
4-did people play in the snow or shovel their driveways

No child (without negligent parents) would be unsafe attending school tomorrow.

Perhaps. Then they would move down the list. Are you confident that numbers 2,3 and 4 can be met?

Love this.

Many children do have negligent parents. Also, ordinary kids walking or standing around in below zero wind chills for any length of time is potentially unsafe.

However, I think most school systems are going with a two hour delay tomorrow so, we'll see how it goes.

And many children with negligent parents would be safer, warmer and better fed attending school.

Not if they get frostbite on the way to school they wouldn't be.

2 and 4 no question. If 3 can’t be met, that requires immediate attention and funding. I live in Loudun though and I don’t hear of the same bus starting problems that Fairfax talks about. Below is the reason LCPS gave in their email:

“Students walking to school and waiting at the bus stop would be exposed to dangerous conditions as indicated in the “Wind Chill Advisory” issued by the National Weather Services.”

Loudoun and Fairfax announced their closures tomorrow before dinner.

Especially since no one walks to school in Loudoun. Everyone is chauffeured by their parents regardless of weather.

Look you hardened New Englanders/Mid-westerners: sorry that you took on so much debt when you moved here that you can't afford to stay home and take care of your children when the temperature are so low, they can cause kids to lose toes.

I live in Loudoun and you are full of it. Fake news. Move on, people.
