[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So sorry that all of you who use school as free babysitting are annoyed.  [b]I'm getting pretty sick of you all whining.  I'm sure that there is a very good reason why school will be starting late....think of all those kids who have to walk or wait for long periods at the bus stop.  Or the kids who are in trailers ALL DAY LONG who have to walk to the main building to go to the bathroom.

And I'm pretty sick of all the ridiculous excuses.   Most of the kids in our neighborhood are driven to school and/or the bus stop.   The trailers issue is a pretty pathetic reason for a first-world school system that is so smug about how good it is to cancel classes.   If we need more real classrooms and bathrooms then lets stop kidding ourselves and address these issues.  Or perhaps we can just cancel school for the winter and make the kids go in the summer when going outside wouldn't be such a problem.

This isn't about babysitting.  This is about expecting a school system to be able to properly educate kids.  And if FCPS has to cancel school every time cold, windy or stormy weather threatens the increasing number of students being taught in trailers, they're not doing that. [/quote]

They would just close when it's "dangerously hot" or the UV index is high. Overweight kids will overheat. Poor people can't afford sun screen. Trailers don't have adequate A/C. Etc.[/quote]
