[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seriously?  Do you believe that the teachers, cafeteria staff, secretaries, building services staff and bus drivers all live within 2-/5 miles of the school/and have the same commute to the building as your child?  No, many live much farther away, and they might have gotten more snow/ice than you and can't safely get to school.[/quote]

The main roads are fine[/quote]

My neighborhood (off the beaten path) didn't see a snowplow until mid-day yesterday.  Some of Maryland is more rural, and people couldn't get out of their neighborhoods.

Now let's take single parent teacher who's childcare doesn't open until 7, and they teach HS.  They can't just leave early because of snow.  I get it's inconvenient, but this is life with kids (2 parent working home, 3 kids 2 in ES).

It's also not real safe for the kids to be walking on the icy roads/sidewalks.

Really, the snowflakes here are the parents whining about the snow days[/quote]

People in rural areas could just drive on the snow until they got to a major road. They weren't snowed in. We didn't get enough snow for that.

Similarly, kids gave been playing outside for the last 3 days. They certainly could have walked to school.

The real snowflakes are the people that think they'll die if the set foot or tire on a section of snow.[/quote]
