[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah, it's the wealthiest county. Because the wealthiest are so wealthy they pull all statistical measures up. Nevertheless, we have countless students, entire districts even, that DO NOT have the resources to face 2 degree temps. Frankly, I am amazed that mcps couldn't at least wait until the am to decide. As an educator in a lower income region, i witness, teach, know, and love these kids, many of whom are latchkey kids, who wake, dress, and let themselves out every morning. They don't know how to dress for this weather, if they even own the right attire. And those are just the kids I know. [/quote]

We are no longer the wealthiest and take it up with the gov't officials who improperly spend our tax money.  As a "good" teacher, I'd hope you do lessons on how to dress properly and reach out to social service agencies and others to collect clothing and other necessities for your students to keep them warm if you know their parents are unable or unwilling.  My delayed 3 year old knows that in the snow and cold you wear boots and warm clothing.  He has a great preschool that between us, them and the therapists teach him that.[/quote]

So, if there home is freezing because they can't afford to heat it - isn't it worth a few cold moments outside to get these children to a heated school with heated lunch?[/quote]
