[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Today there should have been school.  I'm not going to argue about the snow-crete week, but there are so many "snowless" snow days most years.  MCPS is just way too cautious.

Let's lean in to going to school and educating our kids, please.[/quote]

We get it, you live down county and got 3 inches and the roads were clear.  In parts of the county there were a little over 7 inches and the streets were not clear.  [b]It's one county, and one school system.  And until that changes,[/b] you will have to keep your kids home when it's not safe for kids in Damascus or Poolesville to get to school.  [/quote]

That is the crux of the problem.  The school system is too big.  But recognizing that isn't going to change, where is it written in stone that because some schools in Poolesville, Clarksburg or Damascus have to close, so must schools in Bethesda, Chevy Chase, Rockville and Silver Spring?  It isn't divinely ordained.  Yes, it will take changes to teachers; contracts, union rules, bus schedules, etc.  But I simply refuse to believe that those issues are insurmountable - the powers that be just need to be incentivized to start dealing with them.  There isn't an instant fix, but it is possible.  [/quote]

That’s only one part of the problem.  You assume all the teachers and staff live near your school.[/quote]
