Unless busses can’t do their routes, yes.

I feel so bad for these bus drivers that are clearly trying to make this work. I think they're going to need to come up with an alternative plan for buses in order to reopen.

They probably should have thought about that early last week. Omg.

Main roads? Hilarious.

Where would said kids wait along side a main road?

And you want a school bus to stop in the main road too? There are no shoulders (at least plowed) for a bus to pull to the side.

Should I go on?
What they need are more direct bus routes through neighborhood rather than winding down every street for 20 stops.

Didn’t they use modified bus routes last year after the snow closure that did exactly this?

They should do this! Consolidate some of the stops and have kids walk out to main roads. Their parents can wait with them if needed. Then the bus can use main roads and not get stuck.

Are you being sarcastic? Evidently you are not a working mother trying to balance meetings, deliverables, proposals, trying to limit screen time, thinking of educational activities to keep kids engaged, remembering to feed your kids meals (let alone feed yourself), slip sliding all over the yard while taking the dogs out, etc., etc.

I understand why the kids are out of school and I'm resigned to that, but I am not going to pretend that I'm happy about it and that I think that it's better for my kids to be home rather than in school.

That's what family is for. You and your husband should enjoy this time together with your children. You'll miss it when it's gone.

I absolutely agree! It's sad that anybody has to tell people to enjoy the time they have with their kids despite whatever work issues they also must endure. Although on the other hand if you refuse to be happy about that part of it you are probably right that your kids would be better off in school or with a sitter. They don't need to get the vibe that you can't appreciate extra time with them.

Not referring to PP, but not everybody is a loving and caring parent - they often hate every aspect of parenthood.

did they give examples of how exactly thing shave improved over the last 24 hours? All these districts are a joke. If tomorrow is a 2 hr delay there is no reason why today couldn't have just been a delay.
