[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP here: MCPS owes all of our children a full school year, plain and simple. So if weather conditions force closures beyond what is already factored into the calendar, then yes, MCPS must extend the school year. Why on earth would any responsible parent oppose that?

And fwiw PP I'm sorry to hear that your upcounty street is a sheet of ice. I am not questioning today's closure in my comment - I fully expected today would be a closure. But we have had several full-day closures when the lower-half of the county received not a single flake of snow and had zero ice - just rain. So yes, those were ridiculous closures for tens of thousands of MCPS students.

[b]If the situation were reversed most upcounty parents wouldn't be happy to see their kids lose a week of school - particularly when the cause is weather conditions that did not affect them in the first place.[/b][/quote]

Actually, this upcounty parent (whose kids have lost a week of school, just like yours!) completely understands that it's a big county, and that MCPS has to make a decision based on what's best for MCPS as a whole, not on what's best for me and my neighbors.[/quote]
