[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They won’t do call early dismissal but regardless instruction will stop early.  Here is how the end of the day goes in elementary if there is a big storm around dismissal:

2:30-3:25 dark clouds on the radar.  The early kiss and ride parents  and risk adverse parents will say f- that and come in to get “just their child”. Repeat 5-6 times per classroom spread out just enough that by the time you get the kids settled and ready to listen, the speaker will beep again.  The front office is clearly stressed by their voices over the speaker.. Zero concentration is going on.

3:15 walker parents appear at the back door wanting their kids because of the storm. We have to tell them to go to the office. Announcements to classrooms continue…

3:25 storm hits- kids are staring at windows, but packed up and ready to go.  Dismissal should start in 5 minutes

3:30 (dismissal bell rings)  school wide announcement: teachers please hold your kids in the classroom none of the busses are here.

3:35 tornado watch- go to the hallway!

3:45 all clear return to the classroom!  Buses still aren’t here, but parents can receive their children.

3:55- buses trickle in…the office is manically sending out emails to remind parents to call transportation not the school about buses

There wasn’t any instruction  after about 2:30 and everyone gets home late, but hey [b]the what about the CALENDAR people are happy[/b]!

Let’s all hope the storms hit after 5:00![/quote]

wow, just wow.  :shock: [/quote]

I was wrong.  Very very wrong.  The what about the calendar people are very UNHAPPY.  Weird how quickly the weather thread turned to NO IT IS THE CALENDAR within an hour.  Almost like you are really angry about the weather, but realized that can’t be controlled so you channel your anger into THE CALENDAR!!![/quote]

Yes and for you to be so tone deaf to the connection is incredulous![/quote]

For adults to be so unable to understand or acknowledge that a HUGE factor in making this year so horrible is weather and the constant not knowing of about the weather delays is strange to me.  Like you HAVE to have something to blame that humans control rather than understand and deal with the feeling that sometimes things just suck.

Weather can't be planned for but we can absolutely plan to not close for every religion possible and for countless TWDs and TPDs. [/quote]
