Yeah, distinction without a difference PP. Obviously the (overwhelmingly male) spouses of FCPS teachers don’t feel like doing child care, and now here we are.

They aren’t basing it on what FCPS is doing. They are basing it on the fact that they don’t have enough staff to open, which is due to FCPS being closed.


Is this a troll? Do you not realize that those two things are exactly the same?

Bailey’s Crossroads — 9.2 inches (1:10 p.m.)
Reagan National Airport — 6.7 inches (1 p.m.)

I really hope we are at the end of hearing teachers say that school isn't childcare (not that many did, I really do love teachers).


“School isn’t childcare” is a fun little drumbeat of some on this board. Turns out that this closure is because school is in fact, childcare.
