[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The sidewalk off darnestown road and quince orchard road to Quince Orchard HS were not plowed at all yesterday. It is quite dangerous for kids/teens to walk on the road to get to school. [/quote]

Then walk on the snow. I'm sure there are plenty of footsteps to follow.[/quote]

Snow is manageable. Being pushed into traffic because sidewalks weren’t plowed is not. The concern is that unplowed sidewalks force students into the roadway. That’s why sidewalks are supposed to be cleared.

They don't force them onto the road. They can walk on sidewalks that haven't been cleared. They can walk on lawns.[/quote]

Have you been outside or even looked around? No, they cannot. My front lawn is blocked by a mountain of snow the front wheeler dumped onto it clearing the street. There are big blocks of snow and ice everywhere else from clearing a path to my front door/clearing the driveway. We don't have sidewalks so the only place to walk has always been the street. I live half a block from an elementary school. The street one block up and around the corner hasn't been touched (also no sidewalks). So no, you cannot walk on lawns/yards.

The school itself looks like it's been plowed (it's a KAH location mentioned above) but that doesn't help if the neighborhood is still a mess.[/quote]

I don't understand the jump to "no, you cannot walk on lawns/yards." Sure you can. Very few yards have fences right up against the street.  You just don't want to.[/quote]

You’re in every thread, commenting any chance you can get about how stupid everyone else is and how safe it is and blah blah blah. Good for you, now please STFU and let people with brains do the critical thinking.[/quote]

DP. Critical thinking would involve looking outside and seeing that the world is open. It takes a little more time to get place, walking and driving are a little harder, but people are doing it. Sitting in your house looking at piles of snow and thinking "it's impossible!" isn't critical thinking, it's mental illness. [/quote]

No, you’re just using bs to get your way and it’s pathetic. I’ve been out and about and can easily conclude it’s unsafe for kids to be walking to school in certain areas. Go on with your sad life. Using mental illness as an insult? Grow up.[/quote]

It's not an insult, it's just a fact that changes how other people should view your beliefs. You have anxiety, and that's not your fault, but the rest of us shouldn't live our lives to pretending like the beliefs you hold due to your illness are true. They aren't. This is demonstrated by the fact that people are moving normally about the county with a small degree of caution than usual. Kids are outside walking long distances, people are driving, bus are operating. The danger you see is not there.

Hopefully, you'll get the help you need, but the school system needs to work off reality, which is different from what you perceive to be true.[/quote]
