Re: School Closings

I've only had one snowday in the past 5 years...we don't get them. As anti-politically correct as this may sound, the NYC school system exists to be daycare for the poor, not to educate youth. Any knowledge gained is a side effect. As such, schools must be open in all weather, so the kids can get breakfast and lunch. It's a sad state of affairs, but it unfortunatley won;t change anytime soon.

Oh, and the weather right now outside my window: 18F degrees, 35 mph gusts.
