Ok?
My point is LCPS obviously takes into account more stakeholders than just upset teachers who wanted to be in their yoga pants. And so far as any students were “freaking out” it was probably because their teachers were telling them it was too dangerous to be in school.
Your level of delusion is extraordinary. If you seriously think teachers have any say in school calendars or delays/early releases, you are extraordinarily misinformed.
Who said a say? Their wishes were prioritized over students safety in FCPS. Not LCPS. So FCPS lost another day and LCPS lost 45 min.
Their wishes? Are you seriously implying that teachers were "polled" and their "wishes" were influential in the decision to close early?
Your hatred towards teachers is concerning, as are your paranoia and delusions. I hope you are receiving mental health help.

Haven'theard the weather forecasters talk about this. Too warm to stick? Temps are plummeting to 34..
There are no more accurate weather predictions since Trump fired all the scientists because DEI, woke, trans, etc.
Yep and now we’re all at the mercy of Twitter amateurs hyping everything up for social media.
This is what I am noticing. None of them do actual forecasting... just "this model shows this" and "that model shows that". None of their posts are framed in terms of likelihood of occurrence. Then local decision makers see the posts and freak out.

Don’t worry. After the tornado drill most teachers just put on a movie in LCPS. The kids weren’t paying attention to us anyway.

What are you talking about? School is in session on March 27. And are you seriously complaining about one of those Fridays being spring break?
Whiners gonna whine.
It's an early release. It isn't remotely close to a full day and you know it

The teachers weren't responsible for this.
Stuff was canceled all over the DMV. FCPS and teachers had nothing to do with that. My friend's private daycare in DC was closed, my work and my husband's work sent us home (nothing to do with FCPS in either case). The weather listed a higher probability of a bad storm and tons of.places reacted.
The teacher hate is so ridiculous.

The teachers weren't pushing this. My own work made us leave the building by 2 today.
Blaming the teachers for decisions on weather is just so ridiculously tiresome.

LCPS has made all the same calls this year except for today. A teacher from there even responded to a thread that it was a waste of a day. Everyone was kept safe today one way or another. This is not unique to FCPS. Every other Va and MD is complaining about everything as well.Anonymous wrote:Anonymous wrote:Anonymous wrote:Anonymous wrote:I’m a Loudoun teacher and the day was “fine” in the sense we had no storm damage but it was a bad day generally and not worth all the stress.
