What in the world is going on with the school systems now days. Kids was all bundled up standing at the door waiting to see the bus coming down the road when the phone rang, no school due to road conditions. We got a whopping half inch of snow on the ground. I can understand if the roads are a foot deep, but this is ridiculous. I can remember when I was a student, if not for drifting we never would have missed for snow days. The kids are telling me the drivers are always screaming about having to drive in anything other than dry conditions so maybe they just can't find competent drivers anymore. I think about this every time I get behind a school bus these days. When I went to school, we used to all gather in one spot for the bus. There would be 7 or 8 of us from the neighborhood and for most of us, it was about a 1/4 mile walk or more. These days, the bus stops in front of every house. I guess the indoctrination of entitlement begins even earlier than I assumed. Can't have the little darlings walk a block now can we.

More about the school system than spoiled kids. I think I read about kids all being picked up at their own houses was because of safety concerns.

Our school will jump on the snow days off every day that can get away with it. Our school district maxes out on snow days every year. We are a class D school district.

"Here" not only does the bus stop at every house, even if the kids live next door to each other, but now the moms are driving the lil darlins down the driveway to wait by the road in the car....
To many crazy drivers around now that won't stop for stopped school buses.I don't blame the parents one bit.

Our kids can't go to school. They are all sitting at their computers doing "distance learning." My son is a Senior and hasn't been in a classroom in nearly a year. Man, that is just sad. A kid's senior year should be one of the most fun of his life.
