If they're not back Monday everyone in office should be voted out. That is a total collapse of the bare minimum government services

This is also a once in a decade storm. Once in a lifetime pandemic. What's next oh?

And Monday will be over a week since the storm ended. That is a colossal failure if they can't get schools back open in a week.

You would have had a stroke in 2009.

2009, 2016, 2020, 2026

Schools were closed for 2 straight weeks in 2009. Everyone still graduated high school and got into colleges. My kid being one of them. Its not a big deal.

In 2009 (aka the olden days) there wasn’t MCPS capacity to do virtual learning. There is now and we don’t need to be like you and be happy that our kids missed school for 2 weeks when they could have been actually learning at home.

I doubt MCPS will be back Friday and it’s embarrassing.

DCPS is never a good barometer for the suburban districts, it's a different kettle of fish there. MCPS is more comparable to PG and Howard.

No one will be there to teach them.

The county needs to start calling subs to see who wants to risk their hips to come in on Friday.

I saw plenty of people out and about today in the county. Most main roads are cleared.

Why should schools remain closed while everything else is open?

Liability when a kid slides off a county-created snowbank into the path of a turning school bus.

Lol I love how parents are always change the goal posts to fit their immediate needs. Before it was "virtual school isn't school!" Now, it's good enough? Come on...

Can confirm-used to work in DCPS. Bowser doesn't listen to anyone or use critical thinking for school closings. She just wants the optics of being open for the sake of it.

Nah, it's not. Some people actually care about student and staff safety across the entire region.

I think Taylor will call a delay Friday. Pressured by DCPS even though PG is the more relevant peer county in this case.

Right! Target was clear and dry and they were ready for the money I dropped. The need to be ready for these kids I need to drop. My mental sanity cannot take much more of this.

It's not safe for the HS kids walking in the street for 2 miles in the dark because people havent shoveled their sidewalks, nor MS and ES kids walking in the street. Teachers, who don't usually live near their schools may not be able to get out, nor support staff, who may live even farther away. So while I get you were anxious to go to Target, others were not.

My money is on closure, although I could also see a delayed opening. No chance for on time opening

It won’t be possible. It’s not going to be a close call. School lots will still be unplowed. Bus routes will be insufficiently cleared for buses to squeeze through. Bus stops won’t exist.

Also, DCPS did not have asynchronous learning. Some of the public charters did and some of the middle and high schools probably gave kids some work to do, but that is generally not a thing at the public schools.

DCPS RARELY closes. MCPS never looks to DCPS for guidance.

You can't handle having your kids at home? Why did you have them? Seriously.

Some of them are huge. It just sucks for the poor kids who walk to school, but we can’t wait for them to melt on their own.

There is no win-win.

Snowblowers can’t touch this stuff. I don’t even know if Bobcats can. They’re glaciers.

We have never had a long cold streak after a major snow event. Within 2-3 days we are back in the 30/40s and it's melting away. This ice hasn't budged. Had to use ice melt to break just the glacier at the end of our driveway. That took longer than our 3 car length driveway.
