I wish you stop driving cars that contribute to Global Warming to cause this cold...Winters need to be warm...so stop driving...
ReplyDeleteBetcha if schools didn't close locally the parents would have the superintendent's head. Parents out west deal with occasional cold spells.
ReplyDeleteThe teachers won't like this. Their leader is a moron.
ReplyDeleteI didn't understand what the point of the delay was. It's cold, so what.
ReplyDeleteChem trails baby!!
ReplyDeleteChildren have to be outside very early to meet the bus. The parents of a child who has frostbite will be the first to sue.
ReplyDelete12:06, GIVE ME A BREAK!
ReplyDeleteBecause of certain Idiots who threaten my Family on a regular basis, I am at the bus stop every single morning with our little guy. As a responsible parent we make sure we are BOTH dressed for whatever weather is upon us. Your comment is a pansy load of crap.
How about buying your kids some winter clothing instead of video games and a new iphone 6
ReplyDeleteYou're right 12:06, parents around here pass their being pampered along to the next generation. Normal folks agree it's cold outside and dress accordingly.
ReplyDeletei guess u people are not aware that those children who live on naylor, church, isabella have to walk over 30 minutes to get to their inner city schools, they dont get bus transport and they dont have the luxury of parents waiting outside with them. be a "little" sensitive to those who actually have to be out there for more than 5 minutes. oh, and you can wear you bulky coat around school either. . . think before you speak
ReplyDeleteThe human body generates heat while walking. I guess you didn't learn that getting your teaching degree.
DeleteI used to have to stand outside to wait for the bus. Now kids sit in their parents warm car at the end of the street to wait. They can't even make the 3 minute trek down the street on their own.
ReplyDelete12:30 - the difference today in when school normally starts and when school started today was almost none - it was still COLD and they still had to walk and they still had to put their coats in their lockers, and oh by the way most of them still walked in the street instead of the sidewalk like normal people do. And forget the crosswalks, they do not use them.
ReplyDeleteAgain. Look at where our society is compared to 30 years ago? We are soft. Kids are coddled. And the school system is the biggest enabler.

Thats it right there ! what responsible parent wouldn't dress their kid appropriately ? and if they're too stupid to do so, and their child dies of exposure, then taht just strengthens the gene pool.
12:30 NO They do not HAVE to WALK. If they had responsible PARENTS, they would give them a ride.
ReplyDeleteWTF is wrong with you people.
ALWAYS someone else's fault
12:30 what did a 2 hour delay do for the kids that HAD to walk? It was just as cold 2 hours later?????
ReplyDeleteIdiot
2 hours of heat was saved in every single school.An app $250,000 was saved in Wic Co alone.
ReplyDeleteBut then generously dispersed the savings to the teachers for all the long hard hours of failure they endure.
Delete1:36 Really? So they do not heat the buildings at night? I highly doubt that 2 hours of heat = $250K.
ReplyDeleteDo you always lie so dramatically?
Lie or exaggerate?
DeleteWhat is the difference between everything the teachers claim and this comment?
My walk to school and back home was
ReplyDeleteUphill both ways
1:36 based on your estimations, that means that we spend 540 million dollars on heat for 6 months?
ReplyDelete125,000 an hour for 6 months for 24 hrs a day. Late Oct, Nov, Dec, Jan, Feb, Mar, Early Apr.
You see if you do not heat the buildings, in 20 degree weather, pipes burst...
So again... your point? We delayed the start of school and inconvenienced families to save on heat?
Only here in Smallsbury.
Up north they get 6+" of snow and school still starts on time....
Lamest excuse so far.
Should we expect a delay tomorrow morning? It will only be 16 degrees...
ReplyDeleteI heard all kinds of justification for this delay today
From the buses won't start when it's cold, kids don't have coats,kids have to wait outside for their busses and so on.
Let's stop this madness of closing schools when it's cold. It's winter!
They better have a delay tomorrow. If not then it's obvious today was idiotic. Wanna look smart while dumb? Be consistent. That's the wcboe way!
DeleteLiberal fools laying in there bed .
ReplyDeletedon't know why the delay today. The temperature did not rise enough in those two hours, and the kids still had to wait on a bus. what, pray tell, was accomplished?
ReplyDeleteSo at 8am this morning it was 10 degrees and at 10am it was 12 degrees. What difference did that delay make?
ReplyDelete1:36 must be a product of the Wicomico County school system

Maybe they should move out of the ghetto and further away to get bus service.
I bet the kids would be outside playing this morning if they didn't get to sleep in.
12.06 has a valid point. The school must protect the kids from the stupid parents out there. We all know some parents look forward to the moment the kids leave for school. Take a walk through the hallways of a school and you will see how these kids are dressed. Most of the kids of these family's cant wait to get out of the house. If the schools doesn't look out for them who will? Joe you are a good parent, as you know there are many that could care less about their kids well being.
ReplyDeleteWill be the same temperature tonight but NO delay yet???
ReplyDeleteI walked a mile every day to high school and we had 3 feet sometimes. 3/4 mile to grade school. Springfield, Illinois. When we had weather, we just started earlier to be there on time. A walk to school was always another adventure! Cold? Walk faster or have a snowball fight! We'd work up a sweat getting there. Once I found a $50 dollar bill on the way! Hang the coats on the closet hook or in the locker and go to class when the bell rings.
ReplyDeleteI don't understand the problem, but I'm 60 now, and when I got beat up on the way home from school, I made sure I had friends that were better at fighting than I was to walk home with.
I guess I'm missing what the problem is here...
We walked or road bikes to Pinehurst and Bennett from near the Catholic Church every day from first grade until we got driver's licenses. Weather is something that happens and we survived. BTW, neither school had air conditioning. That which does not kill us makes us stronger - Friedrich Nietzsche
