[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a teacher and had about 5 students in class today. I ended up not being able to do any new material anyway. One teacher slipped and fell on the ice going down some outside stairs, and our parking lot is on a steep hill and was not treated, so that was fun. The situation today was miserable and unsafe on many levels, but the Gatehouse crew are all warm and comfy and don't care about anything until they actually get sued. And a lot of parents are just selfishly hoping for free childcare and don't care about who else might get hurt in the process.[/quote]

No, not every parent is hoping for free child care. I am so tired of that argument.  My kids are in HS and it's been very challenging getting them in an education flow this fall.  There are far too many disruptions.  It isn't healthy from an academic perspective. They don't need these breaks. If anything they need to feel the burn for a bit.

In addition, my kids do sports and hate not having that outlet.  So constantly closing school isn't socio-emotionally healthy either.

Not everything is "oh you just want free childcare".

I think if there were not so many four day weeks--or less--that some might be more accepting of a day off.  But, today was not one of those days.  I suspect we are going to have plenty of "worse' days this winter.[/quote]
