[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My neighbor just said all the crosswalks are blocked by several feet of snow dumped by the snow plows. So kids can’t cross over to the school. It needs to be cleared by a machine but that won’t happen. Is there anywhere to report this needs doing or is it futile? [/quote] I walked to the grocery store today, stepping over snow piles at crosswalks. I survived. Those piles shouldn't keep anyone from going to school.[/quote] These are CHILDREN. For the love of God think about someone outside of yourselves for once.[/quote] Closed due to children being unable to step over snow piles. [/quote] Teacher here, genius. Closed due to A. Majority of teachers living outside of DC with much more treacherous community conditions and thus, high rate of callouts. B. Abominable attendance rates which matter to schools. C. Bus route closures due to limited capacities and availability for completed routes which nearly half of students AND STAFF depend on. D. As an ABSOLUTE LAST RESORT, students and staff walking to school in dangerous conditions. Once again, think about someone OUTSIDE OF YOURSELF for once in your life? The obstacles get clearer.
