[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How does it work in Midwest? Are counties stricter to enforce sidewalk honors who don’t clean by school start?[/quote]

I’m going to answer this like a serious question.  The way humans work is they experience something and maybe have a bad outcome and then learn and adapt.  In the winter it was slippery and snowy and as a kid you fell a couple times and figured it out. How to walk on it.  How to avoid it.   Remember kids are not really that fragile like we are as adults. I think some folks reacting so fearfully to snow and ice think it’s like falling as an adult.  They are fine.  They get up and figure it out.[/quote]

Correct. Serious concussions only matter when it’s 4 ft to concrete; a 3 ft tall on ice just can’t be serious; there isn’t enough energy.  Probably same for broken arms etc too, and everyone wears puffy clothes. [/quote]

Drama. No one’s getting a concussion. If you’re that worried, have your kid wear a helmet. They slip once and learn to tread carefully. Added bonus of learning that school is important.[/quote]

That’s what I said, they won’t get a worrisome concussion, they are too close to ground. Adults slipping on ice often kills them, it’s different for kids. The vast majority of the 17000 annual slip and fall from ice and snow deaths are adults. [/quote]

And 0 of those 17000 deaths happen in Arlington lol.[/quote]

Falls on ice are a real issue for elderly people with balance and mobility issues.  However, this should not be driving decision making for school-aged children.[/quote]
