My drive to work this morning took half the time this morning it usually does.

Why? Because hundreds of schools have been closed due to snow that has prevented precisely no-one else in the area getting to work and has now almost entirely melted. However, teachers considered it too ‘dangerous’ to allow children to go to school, thus forcing god knows how many parents to either take the day off or work from home to look after their kids.

Teachers - like most in the public sector - really are idle, lying, workshy cùnts.

Of course the decision to close the schools is made by the relevant Head or perhaps Government department at a local or perhaps national level, no decision regarding school closures is actually made by the teachers.

We had two days closure recently due to the storm Ophelia, wind essentially.

Head teachers are on a hiding to nothing, in the modern culture we live in if a child gets injured because the playground hadn't been cleared of forst/snow then the school would have a legal issue.

In the olden days schools hardly ever shut as there was no social media to tell parents, so kids went to school, played in the snow and got on with it.
