Snow??

[Deejay]

Many of my daughters friends are on MSN at the moment and are not at school. Most of their parents have decided the weather is bad , yet all the roads are open and clear because of no traffic, the school is open and many of her friends live nearer to school that us. If the roads were closed and the school was open we would have walked the 2 miles to school with her.

I feel a rant coming on about how in my day, parents saw it as important that their children attended school, yet may of her friends are not going in and their parents appear not to consider ringing the school to explain but think that because there is snow on the ground their child does not have to attend.

No wonder the country is in the state its in!!!!!!

Have to agree with you AS. the school over the road from me is shut, yet all roads are open. It's a small junior school and virtually everyone attending will live within walking distance anyway. The very same school was not shut during the big freeze of the 62/3 Winter.
