People are so self important like BFD kids were out for a week. Who cares?

Let them relax they’re not gonna change their whole future cause they missed one week of education.

You guys are psychotic

The faux “I’m so cool and laid back and don’t care about school” attitude is so obvious. This poster probably had their kids studying for the SAT all week and is on DCUM all day obsessing over rankings. But pretends not to care about school. Too funny.

That said none of the streets in Arlington or Alexandria can probably handle carpool or street who park on streets. None of the schools want to be closed and extend the school year this was a massive ice storm

Our Arlington Diocese k-8 school follows Fairfax County Public Schools, but only regarding whether the school will physically open or not. This week there was an added complexity because FCPS schools had planned no school, teacher work days Thursday and Friday because of end-of-quarter.

While we have not physically been to school this week, only Monday was a snow day for our school. Starting Tuesday of this week, our school switched to asynchronous learning days, with teachers assigning work via email or Schoology. Middle school students have been required to submit completed work the day it was assigned - unless a different due date was specified - and lower school students will submit their work when they return to school. Because they are still completing work, asynchronous learning days do not count as snow days for us.

Nonsense. Prince William was open Thursday and Friday. As were dc schools. And they’re free. Schools that charge tuition should be opened at least as much as public schools. Poor decision on st Mary’s part.

Just send your kids to public. Seriously.

Such a stupid cop out. So parents have to accept and suck up every idiotic decision by their school, or they should just go to public?

Why don’t you try defending the substantive decision (bc you can’t)?

You complain incessantly. You will never be happy. There are multiple posts defending the decision. Some schools opened today, many did not. St. Mary’s is not an outlier on this one.

Guess the better questions was any Catholic school in the area open and/or did any have virtual learning this week?
