County spends more than $3 billion dollars on education. It would be nice to have some in class lessons time to time.

Do you think there will be a delay?

No.

Were your born stupid or dropped on your head as a baby?

Recognizing that there might be a delay, and making plans, is not the same as wanting a delay.

The "cold emergency" is not enough for a delay particularly after all the other disruptions. It's warming quickly throughout the morning and even at the earliest hours is not at all dangerous. MCPS had to copy the craziness of the FCPS thread.

I don't ever want it open. I love snow days. They don't last forever, either. Kids DO grow up.

Super Bowl tonight. Record cold temps. Delay makes sense.

So you only care about your own kids? People can’t be concerned for others?

Do those other children not have parents who get to be concerned about their wellbeing and make decisions about whether to send them to school or not?

If school is open, there’s little choice about whether or not to send kids. There are only so many unexcused absences that a student can take without consequences for the family.

The system can make a decision to delay two hours. Why would the county bother to send texts and emails about dangerous cold if it is perfectly safe for children to wait 15 min at a bus stop or walk 1.5 miles to school?

Absolutely not.

There will be no issues standing outside for a few minutes tomorrow

Oh why not

The cold emergency ends at 10 AM. A two hour delay would protect students from standing outside or walking in the windchills below zero.
