[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are people actually trying to get over a WEEK off school? Look at the weather report - this ice is not going anywhere. You have had 8 days to dig your car out. [/quote]

I think most of us are eager for our kids to get back at this point but some of us are actually concerned about the conditions out there.  Believe it or not.[/quote]

I agree with this. It sucks to miss so much school but conditions are bad outside. Screaming and crying about it won’t change anything. Try meditation. Sometimes you have to just accept what Mother Nature throws at you. Our kids will be fine [/quote]

Please tell me how those poor kids in Minnesota, Alaska, and Wisconsin ever survive! We should not be closed just because its cold and there's snow/ice on the ground. If that was the criteria, some states would never have school in the winter. [/quote]
I believe the issue is, unlike the states you list, MD does not have the equipment easily distributed in the numbers it needs to along with the staff and resources that are needed to quickly and efficiently deal with this particular type of winter event. If you lived in MN then they plan for this sort of thing, have the equipment easy to access for all the schools and have the money attributed in their budgets for the resources needed, as it is expected year after year. Not the case here in the Mid-Atlantic.[/quote]
