nly around 5" for us, so not a huge deal. Just enough to shutdown all the schools today.
All schools are closed here.
School has not been closed once, here.
It is an NJ thing I guess, it varies whenever they dedice. They called us at 4:50 AM, so it was my wake up call.
Ugh, text me please, that way I don't have to get up early.

Schools close at the drop of a hat anymore. Too afraid of lawsuits.

Not around here.
In our highschool (that @Minion-Queen and I went to) we had a few students die because they didn't close the school when obviously they needed to and there was no safe way to get to school from even right across the street, even on foot... but they still kept not closing them.

I would rather them close at the drop of a hat than not at all when they should. Safety should come first.

I don't really understand why there are physical schools at all, for the most part. The entire idea is antiquated.

There have been suggestions about having an "online" congress, where the reps would stay in their districts with their constituents and would all convene online when necessary.

Texas offers this already to all students. It's not mandatory of course. But it is a state-wide option. Few (if any) other states have that. TX has had it for a while.

The kids are getting ready to head to the library for homeschool book club day.

Without public schools, where would the janitors and fast food employees of tomorrow come from? Also, how could the county keep raising my property taxes without the existence of public schools leeching tons of tax money?

The whole thing needs to be revamped. Superintendents making way too much money and teachers not making enough.
Fast food wasn't meant to be a career. It was only supposed to be a job until the person got out of high school or something.

Jobs like Fast Food positions are solely meant for unskilled labor and or those with no desire to learn. So while I agree it should be a short term position, some people are happy doing something with no responsibility and no requirement to think.

Old news around these parts, I announced the ultrasound a few weeks ago.
But thanks!

FYI based on the ultrasound (not at 20 weeks yet so hasn't been confirmed) it looks like we're having a baby girl!
