[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand why they are proactively prohibiting child care providers from operating at all tomorrow. The  phrase "out of an abundance of caution" should not be used in a message closing child care for thousands of families. This decision could be made school by school.[/quote]

Yup, especially when they are specifically referring to conditions up county, which should not be a reason to close childcare downcounty.  But it's also just about what I expected from these jerks at this point...[/quote]

Conditions uncounty shouldn't close anything downcounty, but apparently we're in some snow suicide pact together[/quote]

Even if a child-care provider wants to open, they often depend on access to locked facilities, building heat and utilities, custodial snow removal, security or emergency protocols, right?

When MCPS closes, that infrastructure shuts down too.[/quote]

No, MCPS closing does not shut off heat and utilities to buildings.

Essential workers are supposed to report. No reason why they shouldn't be at schools tomorrow getting them ready to open on Tuesday.

MCPS just wants to give their office workers the day off because they are the most entitled laziest people in the country and they are also bizarrely insecure so they need to wave their dicks around and show they can f&CK with every else's day whenever they choose.[/quote]

The issue isn’t whether the furnace is on. It’s that once the district declares roads and conditions unsafe for systemwide operations, they’re not going to selectively open school facilities to a subset of kids under a different program. That’s a liability and logistics decision, not a “let’s mess with working parents” conspiracy.

You can argue MCPS is too cautious about snow. Fine. But the idea that this is about “office workers being lazy” is unserious. Closing a 200+ school district affects transportation, food service, custodial crews, security, and building access. It’s not a vibe-based call so someone downtown can sleep in.

Criticize the threshold if you want. The name-calling just makes the argument weaker.[/quote]

No one asked you to be the voice of reason. We are venting and complaining here. Gotta blame someone! [/quote]

If by reasonable you mean pretending that something that literally just occurred weeks ago is impossible then sure...[/quote]
