Nazi's run my school!!

[greenwitch]

there is somewhere around 10 or 15 inches of snow on the ground, the weather is cold and crappy and school still isn't closed. what the hell. :flamer:

[Remia]

lol. we got a delay, but nothing more, but i know the feeling. sometimes it seems my school is dead set on getting us into accidents.

[Akhkharu Asgard]

Ahh, I remember those days of praying to the snow god to close school. Now i'm in college and they don't close it for jack.

Our superintendant was a tiny little 60 year old lady who was about 4'5" and drove a Hummer. She lived in Chestnut Hill (a notoriously rich part of Boston) and had a hired private snowplower to plow her driveway each morning. Where as most of the people who went to the school lived out in the boonies, way deep in the woods where snowplows dare not tread. Her policy for school cancellation was if she could get to school, we were expected to as well. Grrr. Made me so mad. It was a regular occurance to have to wake up at 5:30 in the morning to go out and shovel 3 feet of snow from the driveway so we would get stung by the school's ridiculous absence policy.

I am here in NJ and we have about 8 inches, maybe. It is pretty sunny, so it is already getting all watery. My kids had a 2 hour delay and off to school they went. We very rarely get a school day, which is fine by me. I would rather they be cooped up in the winter than in the scolding heat of June.

Muffin? Sorry, but we've had to go to school with knee deep snow with a temp of -50C, inclusive of the windchill. They don't close schools around here... in fact, outside of the strike the last time they did close any schools was back in 1995, due to the flood that closed the bridge from the west side of the city to the rest of the city. At my old high school it was expected that if you could make it to the school safely you where expected to, if you didn't you got hit with an absense, which would keep you from being able to exempt a final exam at the end of the semester, which really sucked.

They close schools mostly because of visibility and/or the need to shovel the snow. If your school is open that means it stopped snowing and they have cleared the roads/parking lots.

When you get a meter of snow and they still don't close the schools, then call me crying ;)

At my university, we had a couple days when the wind chill made going outside "un-advisable" because "exposed skin could frost bite in seconds" (according to the guy on the news), only half my teachers showed up, and the city buss system was down, but they still had school. God, I love the midwest!

[memnoch]

hmmmm, take this as a lesson from the real world. Your teachers had to go to work, more than likely your parents had to go to work. Most of society still has to go to work. Often in life things aren't fair and you have to do things that aren't pleasant. If you accept them, take a positive attitude, and deal with them to the best of your ability life won't be so bad

oh I"ve lived in michigan, thats when it's bad. nazi's ran the schools there too though. It could be an ice storm. cannot see within 5 inches of your nose, and the school buses couldn't go out and do the routes it was so bad. but school STILL never closed. nazi's I tell you. nazi's.. _wedgie_

[farm girl]

not meaning any disrespect, but I would hold back on the Nazi usage. Offends a many of people. Nazis work toward the annilation and suffering of a race (and catholics...and homosexuals). They aren't big on running schools or angering people with snowstorms. :rant:

What does snow has to do with nazis? Hello? Didn't you have history at school?

Maybe she is going to school in Germany and some of the few living Nazis, or possibly even some neo-nazi's are in charge of her school. And because Nazi's were all for torture they didn't close schools.

:lol:

Nevertheless, I consider simply accusing people with whom one disagrees of being a Nazi one of the more worthless traits of Americans.
