[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I make the final decision about my kid’s safety,  not the school. If I disagree with the school’s call to open the school in inclement weather, I keep my kid home. [/quote]

The admin and teachers at your child’s school definitely hate you[/quote]
No they don’t. It’s no worse for them than if a kid stayed home sick on a day school was open.

When my kid was little, we lived in Arlington but attended elementary school at a Reston private. They once stayed open even though the publics closed. We tried to drive in, got stuck, had to turn around and come home. The school was entirely understanding when I called to say DC wouldn’t be in because the roads out of our neighborhood were impassable.

If your school is open but you can’t safely get there, stay home. Schools do not in fact want you to risk a crash to try to get your kid in on a snowy day.[/quote]

+100… for kids who don’t live near their private school, the school admin is very understanding - and my kid wasn’t the only child absent due to weather conditions.[/quote]
