[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I invite Dr Reid to walk down Kirby Rd at 6:30am tomorrow.  It was scary watching the kids do this at 8:30am last week.  The sidewalks and street embankments are still there.  The intersection at West Moreland and Kirby is frightening under normal conditions but the snow mountains 🏔️ are even more treacherous.  [/quote]

Drive your child to school.  Don’t put your child in a dangerous situation.

[/quote]We do but there were MS kids walking down the busy Kirby road since the sidewalk is inaccessible.  It looked frightening as a parent.  [/quote]

MS parent here. We are driving too and have been. Shocked there is no delay tomorrow. Reid is an absolute moron and a coward.[/quote]

I think you’re the coward. Can’t handle getting to school on time two weeks after it snowed because it’s cold out? How do you function as an adult?[/quote]

And you can’t handle a simple 2 hour delay. Loser.[/quote]

DP. At some point you and all the doomsayers need to come to grips with the fact that you have a skewed perception of risk. The people who were upset that schools opened at all last week, and upset about no delay today, made all sorts of predictions about the terrible things that would happen. And none of them did. Maybe look at your tendency to catastrophize and realize that it's not healthy.[/quote]

+1  where are all the reports about the various tragedies that struck all of the students that had to get to school on time today?

Oh wait. [/quote]

I am glad everyone is okay, but [b]you can’t use the fact that no tragedies occurred to assert that we took *no* risk by opening[/b].  Risk assessment doesn’t measure what *will* happen but what *could* happen.  I’m a cautious person, so I am less comfortable with the “could” than others.

Luckily, the snow will melt soon - tomorrow afternoon? - so we won’t have to [/quote]

There is always a risk when students travel to school. There is never *no* risk. That's simply not one of the options.[/quote]
