Not talking about parents of younger kids.
At what age would you let your kid go to the bus stop or walk to school by themselves?
I remember walking home from school alone in kindergarten. I lived a block away. This was in the eighties.
Parents are enraged because they have no plan. Every two parent working family needs a plan in case of two hour delays or snow day. If that’s offering to pay a neighbor money to help cover then that may have to happen. But to be enraged about something that happens every year…get your affairs in order and figure it out like the rest of us.
Parents are upset because the 2 hour delay this more is crazy. There is literally no reason we should have had a 2 hour delay. Even if you do have a plan, this is still frustrating. There is only so much good will you can burn with your backup plans / work from home plans / go into the office late plans and you don’t want to use this up for nothing. This has been a rough winter, given parents a break here.
