REALLY???? One inch of snow and all of these schools are closed? That is just stupid!

SNOWPOCOPYPSE from less than an inch of snow!!!

These people are crazy.

The main reason for closing the schools is the safety of the children. That's fine let them make up the days off this summer. That will shorten the boring summer days off.

I thought that was what snow routes were for but I guess not.

They need to have year round school anyway. These kids graduate from high school and they still can't read, can't write, can't do math, and cannot speak coherently. Our schools are failing to educate our students in such a short time period. Make them go year 'round and lengthen the school day.

Of course the teachers' union won't go for any of this anyway.

With the high winds this morning, I'm glad that our kids didn't have to ride in a high-profile school bus. No, there wasn't much snow, but school buses are hard enough to control in the wind without adding slick roads to the equation. Not to mention the people who don't think that "a little bit of snow" is a big deal seem to be the ones that usually cause the wrecks!

Less than an inch of snow isn't a big deal if you slow down and drive with caution, I am sorry but it was stupid to call off school yesterday. We never got out for less than 6 inches of snow and we had the same roads and the same busses and same snow and guess what we all lived!!

I used to walk five miles to school in snow over my knee boots! Uphill! Both ways!

Seriously though, they didn't cancel my school unless it was REALLY bad. I lived in the boonies and remember sliding down the road on my behind when the bus driver couldn't make it up the hill for the ice and was afraid to back down with me on it. Seems to me now that would have been safer than making me try to walk down after he backed down. I'd throw a fit if they did that to my kid today.

I think they used an overabundance of caution this morning. The roads were fine at 7:30. And I really do go uphill, and downhill, both ways.
