Re: Snow on the way.
What is it with society today, Why do the authorities believe that once snowflakes start to fall, that's it! hundreds of schools closed, parents unable to go to work, angry at schools for the closure for days on end, even when the snow has stopped, is turning to slush and any danger has long passed.When confronted about the continuing closure, teachers response? "We are not child-minders!!"
Forgive me, but that is exactly what they are, surely. Our children are in the classroom in their care, to be educated from 9 til 4. or whatever hours the schools have nowadays.
Dear Lord, back in the really bad winter of 1962-63, children still traipsed off to school every day with 6-foot drifts of snow in places. We made snowmen and had snowball fights during playtime and lunch-hour. No mollycoddling back then! it was a case of on with your coats and get some fresh air while the teachers had their morning coffee.
We really do seem to be ruled by wimps nowadays, turning our children and grandchildren into another generation of wimps.
What next? No school if it rains?
