[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just drove by seven locks es and the student drop off lot is still untouched. Can other people report what they're seeing at their local schools here? Yesterday it mentioned only 30 percent of schools were done. Like WHAT?![/quote]

Maybe it's time for community to come to the rescue.  If one parent of every enrolled child at a school showed up with their ice pick and snow shovel, the parking lots and sidewalks of all schools could be completed in a few hours.  Yes, some families have 2 kids enrolled at a school and an infant at home so only 1 parent for 2 students could show up.  And yes, there are single parent households with kids in both ES and MS so they shouldn't have to shovel 2x.  And I'm sure there are families with multiple children and one parent who has to go to work and cannot help.

My point is, maybe the parents who want kids back in school need to take control.  Volunteers could get this done quickly.  Many hands makes light work.[/quote]

“The parents who want kids back in school” — [b]shouldn’t that be all parents?[/b][/quote]

No, some of us prioritize the safety of our kids over free daycare. [/quote]

But there is no safety issue at this point.[/quote]

Are you dense? Not all neighborhood sidewalks are cleaned. There are neighborhoods with narrow paths because of the snow and kids walking on those roads at 7:00am to get to school on top of ice is a safety issue. They slip and fall on that one mile stretch and who is going to cover the bills? You?

Get off your high horse and go to other neighborhoods and see for yourself and stop going on and on about kids needing to walk on ice to get to school because you are not capable of taking care of your kids at home and want free daycare on the pretext if education.[/quote]

How is walking on top of the snow where sidewalks are a safety issue? Walking in the streets is a safety issue, yes. But on top of compact snow on sidewalks? What is the problem? [/quote]

I don't know about other neighborhoods but in ours, even if you walk on the compacted ice - which I don't have an issue with actually - you can't cross at instersections because the plows in some places made small mountains. As in vertical 5 feet of snow blocking the exit from the sidewalk, taller than many of the kids. Fun to climb on in boots, not fun to cross when going to school. So the kids are forced to walk in the street, which sucks because cars don't respect the conditions and whip around corners despite not being able to see around the snow piles.[/quote]

Wear boots to school!! Why is this so hard[/quote]
