This is not even remotely the same.

I’m not sure what makes you say that.


The joke that was APS’ handling of the pandemic.


Get over it. Everyone in this area handled it the same way. Alabama did it differently but if you want their level of edu go ahead and try it.

Since FCPS called it, Arlington will follow within the hour. Too many APS employees live and/or have kids in FCPS.

If there is snow or even if there might be snow or there was a snow and flake has not been cleared on an inch of sidewalk or road anywhere in the county OR Fairfax is closed, APS is closed. Just accept this is how it is. Pre-covid APS used to sometimes separate the call from FCPS but with teacher relations as they are these days, they never do this. We are just a satellite of FCPS now.

If you are from a place that gets any real snow this whole thing will be baffling to you.


The fact that schools are cancelled for very little snow actually isn’t baffling to me, one who is from a place that gets real snow (park city Utah). A place that has to remove snow once or twice a year is just not going to do it as efficiently as a place that has snow all the time, and drivers here aren’t going to handle the snow as well.

And really if teachers were able to focus on teaching instead of spending all their disciplining three students who shouldn’t be in the classroom, the kids could have 20 school days and get more instruction than they are getting now n


I am from a place that gets real snow. (Buffalo, NY). People think the snow all gets removed instantly in these places. It does not. People carry on while it is still snowing. Road conditions are not perfect. People just carry on. People drive slower and know how to drive in the snow. There is just in general much higher risk tolerance too. People are willing to go out knowing it's not a zero-risk environment because if they didn't they would sit inside all winter long. Just completely different mindset.


EXACTLY!

People here can barely handle rain. I’m happy to keep them off the road
