[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seriously?  School might be closed for a week. Your kid will survive. [/quote]

They will survive. But it is neither necessary nor very disruptive. Why can't attendance and stuff be optional? [/quote]

Usually because there are safety issues for teachers and staff getting to school. If I were a teacher, I literally would not be able to come in. No plows on my road at all. Tried to get my car out and it got stuck. My neighborhood is accessible to metro only by car (or bike, which doesn’t work in the ice).

I guess you could ask school to open and have voluntary attendance for teachers and kids, and then it’s not actually an instructional day, just a babysitting day.[/quote]

But that is OK. If you can't come in, can some of the kids and some of the teachers who live nearby still go to work? This is how I grew up. [/quote]

My guess is none of the teachers at my kid's school would be able to afford to live within walking distance.  Teaching isn't a well paid field.

Teachers aren't living in Palisades, lol.[/quote]
