[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do teachers really think it's unsafe for them to go to school?
(Not talking about kid and bus safety).

I find it unreasonable and unreal. That's exactly why they get a bad rap for being whiny. [/quote]

If you want an honest answer, you should refrain from using the unnecessary ad hominem attack.
As a teacher, I’m not worried about my own safety.  I’ll work on de-icing my car this weekend, and   I’ll get to school early enough to avoid possible parking lot disasters.

I am worried about the kids and the busses, though.  [/quote]

Have you really not had to leave your house yet? Is your street not plowed at all or something? [/quote]

I can’t back my car out of its parking space and I don’t own a shovel.  I’ll figure something out.  I’m from the South and just wasn’t prepared for this kind of thing.  I didn’t know snow could turn into hard immovable blocks of ice - I hate it.  [/quote]

You don’t own a shovel? How long have you lived here?[/quote]

Five years - I never needed a shovel before.  The snow was soft or melted.  If I may “whine” a little (for therapeutic reasons), the earliest I can get a shovel delivered is Monday night, my condo association just told me they don’t have any available to loan me, and the maintenance men who are making use of said shovels are not working on unblocking cars from their parking spaces.  They’re shoveling the walkways… apparently.  My courtyard is still pure ice.   I guess I’m going to have to interact with my neighbors so I can borrow a shovel.  Ugh.  That means I’ll need to have hour-long conversations about someone’s kidney stones or heart problems.  [/quote]
