You wanna see snow!!!??? You wanna see snow!!!??? I'll show you snow!!!
This is the amount of snow it takes to shut down the North Thurston School District, Jan 2008. The school district was absolutely paralyzed. No schoool for anyone, too damn dangerous! Kids love it! Teachers love it! I hate it!
I dont mean to hijack the thread here, but since I already have for myself; It really pisses me off that the *censored* school administrators shut things down. There excuse is because their are some routes in the district that are pretty "hairy". Ya know what...? Who cares?! I remember as a kid, we used to have snow routes. School was open, just on snow routes, folks living on the steep hills had to get their kids to the bottom of the hill.
Instead, today they shut the damn schools down, diregarding the importance of parents getting to work. Parents now must use annual leave cause some idiot school district employee made a piss poor decision. "It's too dangerous, someone might get hurt".
How much do you want to bet that there are more kids getting hurt at home and on the streets sledding into cars on school closure days than if they just kept school open and Fing taught our kids something. Instead, they teach the kids that school isn't that important, we can cancel it for just about anything, even a quarter inch of snow which will melt by 9am.
I really really really don't like the teachers and admin in my school district!!!
