[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe I think waiting for the bus on top of a snow pile and the buses taking a little longer to get kids to and from school in the snow is what builds resilience. Sincerely, a person who grew up in one of those “100 inches of snow” places. [/quote]

Wouldn't the bus taking longer either mean the students need to wake up earlier (which messes up them waking up at a consistent time - mentioned in this thread as a need for student success) or cause them to go get to school late (which makes them lose instruction hours - which has also been mentioned as a problem in this thread)?[/quote]

Getting to school 20 minutes late because of lingering snow piling up  isn’t the same as missing 2 hours or a full day due to weather ………. [/quote]

Very true, but where do we draw the line numerically on what is acceptable and what isn't?

2 hours = Unacceptable. 20 minutes = Acceptable.

What about a 1 hour delay? Acceptable? What if the bus is a hour late? Unacceptable? [/quote]
