[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why? Why? Why? is everything cancelled tomorrow? And Sunday? Sometimes I think the people who make these decisions hate kids. My kids SO look forward to their rec basketball games. It's such a short season. So disappointing.[/quote]

And it would not involve a lot of employees having to make their way to work. And participation in rec sports is voluntary—no one would feel compelled to venture out unless they felt comfortable doing so. My kids are in rec basketball and I might not feel comfortable driving them tomorrow but there is no reason for every game at every school to be canceled.[/quote]

There is still liability when members of the public are on school grounds. There also has to be a representative usually low level employee who gets the buildings open/cleaned/locked back. Additionally, not all sidewalks and parking lots are totally clear at all the schools yet. [/quote]

1. Why aren’t they clear enough? What have they been doing all day?
2. Why can’t they be cleared in time for noon activities tomorrow? Or by Sunday? Why cancel the entire weekend on Friday?

[/quote]

Because children’s basketball and indoor soccer games are not as important as access to hospitals, urgent care, gas stations, grocery stores, commerce, etc. [/quote]

That's exactly the point. A lot of people in Arlington who makes these decisions place very little value on these activities. The children, however, do not. The children place a lot of value on these things. And I place a lot of value on the children. We are taking things away from them. To some people, it feels like small things. But to our kids, these are big things. And it infuriates me.[/quote]

Bwahaha! Your kids not getting into their basketball game without gas in the tank and food in the bellies. [/quote]
