[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The bus drivers had difficulty in 22101. It is awful they were put in a position to have to drop kids off on 123 (over 1.5 miles from home) because the neighborhoods were too icey to navigate. [/quote]

This is our situation, glad I didn't send my kids to walk on icy roads with no sidewalks for a mile to get home. [/quote]

Yet many kids did walk a mile on roads and icy sidewalks to get to/from school yesterday. And they managed just fine. I'm a teacher (HS), and my classes were mostly full, with about 1 or 2 absences per class. I would argue that you should be allowing (and even pushing/encouraging) your kids out into the world to take risks and overcome challenges. [b]Walking on icy sidewalks? [/b]Watching the cars/traffic carefully? Yes, these type of situations should be navigated from time to time as kids grow through the years. Do not bubble-wrap your kids. You are not doing them any favors.[/quote]

Reading comprehension isn’t your thing. The PP you are replying to said “icy roads” and that no sidewalks were available. [/quote]

haha, true.  And this is a person who claims to be a HS teacher  :lol:[/quote]
