[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 339758, member: 59"] Around here the parents get very upset when the schools close for weather. The schools understand this so they push it as far as they can the other way. Many of the kids live in single family homes or homes where both parents work and when school closes they have to either call off work or find someone to care for their kids. Maybe we should go back to the olden days where we all had neighborhood schools and walked to school. Then we wouldn't have to worry about buses or getting stuck or black ice. husband and I drove downtown to work in the blizzard of 1977. We had to get out of the car several times and push it up a hill. husband was in law school and they didn't close and of course businesses never closed. Plows didn't plow the streets and buses still ran to get the people to work. I kinda miss those days. I see the kids' attitudes now about work and they dont have the same work ethic. I wonder if we have created that. Nancy [/QUOTE]
