again, I feel like if that is the criteria, we just shouldn't plan to go to school in winter.  It MIGHT be icy...and cold.  OHHH NOOOO!!!![/quote]

Yes, and quite a few kids and teachers can break bones slipping. It's not all about you. When I taught in another area several teachers ended up in the ER from breaking bones slipping on the ice. Kids were injured too. There were also traffic accidents near the school. Wait till the people declaring everyone a "wus" fall. They probably won't bat an eyelash suing the school system for deciding to have schools open.[/quote]

I twisted my ankle severely in my school's parking lot in one of the many potholes.  I didn't once think of suing the goddamn county.

We went to school today in Arlington.  Nobody died, nobody was maimed.  We used caution on ice.  We drove slower.

For chrissake--you might as well wrap yourself in bubble wrap.  There are numerous studies that show all of this over-regulation and playground regulation of childhood hobbies--tag, tree-climbing results in much more severe injuries to these same children when they reach adulthood.  There is balance you learn from living life...and being allowed to live life like a normal person (not a fearful freak) early on.[/quote]
