How does a 2 hour delay help anything? Either close school or make it a regular day!

[Anonymous]

Parents typically have a plan to get their kids to school securely on regular days. With two hour delays, I can't possibly stay home that late so my kids will be walking instead of getting a warm ride to school. I've been scrambling trying to find families to drop them off with for a ride to school, and the other parents are citing the same problems that I have!

I don't know the percentages, but certainly a two hour delay puts a lot of kids out in the cold--- my guess would be more in the cold with a delay than with a regular start time.

Because they have to extend the school year already with 2 snow days as they only planned for one. So, 2 hour delay is still a regular day.

Maybe in your bubble, but not in the general population.

Go in late, telecommute, ask your husband to handle it, pay someone, carpool, etc.

You are a bad parent if you make your kids walk.

It just gives them more time to make a decision. They can announce at 7 rather than 5.

You’re such a loser.

I’m not OP but she’s a “bad parent” if she has to work and her kids have to walk? Go to hell. You’re an anonymous troll spewing negative crap at strangers; I’m sure you’re a happy and fulfilled person.

OP is making the point she’s in a jam. Also millions of kids in vast swaths of the world have walked outside at 15 degrees with no issue. Sorry your precious snowflakes are soft as puppy sh$t.

Kids have to walk in the dark to school.

Why would closing help? You'd still need to work.

I'd have to be an arthropod to be able to roll my eyes sufficiently at this.

OP, how does a two-hour delay help anything? Well, sunrise tomorrow is at 7:17 am. Would you rather go to school when it's iffy and dark, or when it's iffy and daylight?

the world does not revolve around you.

Your job is not as important as you think it is.

No one’s child should be walking or standing at the bus stop tomorrow long than 5 mins.

I agree with OP. Someone should at least open the school so some kids can arrive at the regular time and do study hall

Overnight low is 2F where I am. I have to agree with pp that if you let your kid walk tomorrow morning, I think you meet the “bad parent” criteria.

It's not the parents who need to hear that...it's our managers.
