Or, perhaps don’t freaking close schools every time the weather gets a little inconvenient Archived Message

there is zero reason to close schools here for it being cold. This isn’t Southern California or Florida, where no one would be prepared for it. Put on a hat and gloves and get to school, just like those of us who still make it to work when it’s cold out. Previous Message some people are just born and incessant whiners. Previous Message Previous Message my kids go to a highly regarded private school. they got two weeks off, then 1/1 and 1/2 off. they went to school for three days. they then got last monday off for a faculty service day. 4 days and then today off again. what's your effing point? Previous Message Then the first Monday “back” was an institute day, because it’s apparently too tall of a task to just go back to classes on Monday Then three days of school Then a snow day Then MLK day Then a “cold” day tomorrow (“e-learning” doesn’t count) Previous Message *
