It is just another day that we will have to make up at another time. Schools also have to take into account all the parents who work full time jobs and complain every time we delay or close because it causes problems for them related to day care. Many children will be left at home alone today to take care of themselves because their parents cannot afford to miss work. This is another reason why schools often delay to give them more time to make these crucial decisions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1997582511588511868.post-24030181404046531142009-01-15T07:08:00.000-05:002009-01-15T07:08:00.000-05:00its not a gripe just saying. being "used" to a te...its not a gripe just saying. being "used" to a temperature doesn't make it any different, dressing for it does. Give it a shot, you will be surprised. People seem to bring there kids skiing on vacation in Utah on days with similar wind chill but when at home and outside for less time it is too dangerous. How many unsupervised kids today are going to be driving around and outside anyway? I would say a decent amount of teens.<BR/><BR/>-allanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1997582511588511868.post-56864773373945905812009-01-15T01:43:00.000-05:002009-01-15T01:43:00.000-05:00That may be true for Minnesota.

And if they did have school here tomorrow I would keep him home! He has not missed any school at all this year so I would not feel bad about keeping him home during these extremely cold temps. If I were to take him to school in this I would not only have to expose him to the extreme cold but also my newborn daughter and my 1 1/2 year old as well.
