[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.

[b]Now let's take single parent teacher who's childcare doesn't open until 7, and they teach HS.  [/b]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]

School-apologists love to point out that child care is the parent's responsibility. But it would be awfully poor planning to pick a child care provider that is both far away from your employer and doesn't open until just before you need to get to work.[/quote]
