Re: Schools closing at the drop of a snowflake
Its ridiculous , next thing they will close them because its too hot. Just an excuse to have a day off. They have a caretaker , get him putting some sand on the playground. If traffic is a problem start school later in the morning.Re: Schools closing at the drop of a snowflake
The world's gone soft. I remember going to school during the winter of 62/63 when the snow came up to my middle and was made to traipse across the school playground in my shorts and wellies to the weather station to get temperature and barometer readings for a project we were doing. Some days, the boiler wasn't working because the coal wagons couldn't get through but still we had to go to school.Re: Schools closing at the drop of a snowflake
All the schools around here closed with the exception of the private schools who have boarders and can't close.Re: Schools closing at the drop of a snowflake
Like others here, our school never closed either. I can remember walking to school in snow, ice, pouring rain, fog, hail & any combination. We were a tough lot in those days. Very little heating in school either. But then we also played outdoors in all weathers as well, in groups with friends or just two of us & sometimes alone. It was a different World then.
