[quote=Anonymous]It was TWO INCHES OF SNOW! No sleet. No wind shears. No earthquake. No flooding. Snow so dry it blew off the top of my used Honda after a couple of minutes. I slogged through worse as a student during the rainy season in a country without a metro or public buses.

Delays just give more families reasons to keep their kids home. Why trudge through snow or wait nearly an hour for a bus if you just have to head back in a few hours?

Beyond the need for food for those in need who,[u] by law[/u], should be feed at school, there is value in teaching resilience to all students in these situations.

You go to school because you [u]can[/u], not just when it's [u]convenient[/u].

In too many parts of the world children get killed or abused just for trying to go to school. Others are denied any education at all because of their skin color, gender, or class. There are also children who used to have access to an education who are displaced from their homes due to human conflict or natural disasters. Then there are millions of children who walk for hours to get to and from schools that welcome them.

Two hours delay in the capital of the most powerful nation on earth for two inches of snow without ice? Seriously?

Be thankful that the lack of apology from an official was the worst of your problems today.

Tip of the Hat to DCPS for not panicking. [/quote]
