School closures.
« on: 06 January 2010, 12:59:46 »
My missus got up, as usual, at 6am this morning. I got up with her to prepare her car for the journey from Wakefield to Sheffield, where she is the head of a large primary. She left at 6:45 and arrived at 7:30 to open the school.
I walked the half a mile to my sons school at 8:30 only to be told that the staff were unable to make the journey in and, therefore the school was closed. Oh, and tomorrow as well.

Between this and the taxis I mentioned in an earlier thread, I am in a bad mood today. I am ashamed of the way the people of this country take every opportunity to skive or make a quick buck.

Alledgedly, around these parts, the school teachers/assistants have 'snow days' - a set number of days a year they dont have to turn up if the weather is poor.

My SWTSMBO got a text at 0800 saying the school would be closed and not to go in. Seems 14 out of 16 "full time" teachers (my SWTSMBO is only a teaching assistant) live "out in the sticks" and cannot get in so the school closes even though the council clear the roads and paths to maintain access to the school.

Now that is what I call joined up thinking ........   NOT ....  :(

Colleagues less than 5 miles from work today have been "unable" to come in due to the weather, yet I managed to come in from over 70 miles away.

Absolutely pathetic.

5m is walking distance if reqd!!  I used to go to school 5m away, and often had to make my own way there/back - including through the bad winters of late 70s and early 80s

Apparently it's for the "safety of the students" round our way.

only one of ours is still at school....  but the school is at the top of a rather steep , and large hill....    which the council have NOT cleared,   The bus service up there is suspended....  given that we have a genuine , measured with a ruler, 11 inches of snow in our front garden....  even if the school were open i'd not be inclined to drive the 8.5 miles or so to try and get there....  all things considered...

hell there's 6 inches sat on the roof of my miggy....  AFTER i'd managed to get out to tesco in it earlier...   took 1/2 an hour of shoveling snow to get a clear run on to the road ....   and when i got back, there was another 3 inches of it..... 

bugger that.....
