Yes, but there were weeks when it was so bitterly cold that we had delays/closures on some days for cold. It's not like it went from too frigid for school to balmy and comfortable to frigid again on a day-to-day basis. We had entire weeks where it was extremely cold outside, some of those days so severely that school was delayed. On a week like that, I wouldn't want my child hanging out for 20 minutes with no options for shelter/warm-up, even on the regular-schedule days.[/quote]

We did not have WEEKS when it was too cold to stand outside and wait for the bus. We had DAYS. And on most of those days, there was no school.[/quote]

So you think schools should close every time it would be too cold for kids to stand outside for 20 minutes waiting for the bus, instead of school systems assuming parents are smart enough not to make their children do this?[/quote]

No, I think that there only a few days when it's super cold, and the OP can worry about those days when they are actually here, either by making other plans or by bundling up OP's child. It does not make sense to not drop off one's child in September because of a possible few cold days in January. [/quote]

I don't think anyone said that some cold days in the winter meant that it should never be done, just that if OP was going to do that, what was her plan for bad weather days? You're creating a bit of a strawman here.[/quote]
