Global Warming eh????

We are expecting another 2-5 inches. We have already gotten about 8 inches over the weekend. Now, typically, I couldn't give 2 rat's asses about some snow. BUT, My daughters *WONDERRRRRRRFUL* Catholic school, well ALL Catholic schools here in Chicago are INFAMOUS for closing for bad weather. Chicago Public Schools NEVER close. NEVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR lmao

Why you ask??? Well, the public school's teachers and staff are REQUIRED to live in the city which makes traveling to work in a city that hustles and bustles with the plowing at the wee hours of the morning, meaning, they are able to get to work.

Catholic schools on the other hand, those teachers can live anywhere they damn well please, so if a blizzard hits (as is expected tonight) the wonderful cushy little suburbs they are living in do not respond to the bad weather quickly enough for them to make it to work so they call off! Which means the schools closes.

I am out of paid time off.

Let us all bow our heads in prayer...

    I work in a suburban school district and honey they NEVER close either. Our teachers are not required to live in that city either. Our superintendent is like CPS administrators...it has to be ten feet of snow pouring in your door in order for schools to close.

    But I feel ya pain, dear. I am always amazed watching the a.m. news and 99% of schools closed are the Catholic ones.

  7. Snow days aren't what they are cracked up to be b/c they simply add in the missed time at the end of the year. Kids will be pissed sitting in a HOT classroom in July...

  11. I've never seen snow, so... schools don't close for that here.

    They used to close when the temps reached 40C (over 100F for you guys) but now that there's airconditioners in most schools, I don't think that happens anymore.

    If it's always Catholic schools that close during especially snowy weather, does this mean that god thinks school education is a waste of time?
