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.
You could also blame the traffic you usually experience on the middle class parents who choose to send their kids to superior schools that are a drive away, rather than settling for the one around the corner.

I work in Enfield, m. I seriously doubt there are any ‘superior’ schools.

Ahem- Excuse me!
I went to one of the top state schools in the country- in Enfield. Funnily enough, it is awash with kids from Muswell Hill, Highgate, the better parts of Finchley.
St Ignatius is ok, as is Southgate. The others are effectively borstals.

But - with respect - that was an awfully long time ago, wasn't it, p?
It's like me and Croydon. I was rather fond and defensive of the place when I grew up there. It's now a cesspit.

It is still an outstanding school in every respect. And it still attracts kids from all over North London and over 3000 applicants a year. It isnt quite as good as when I was there, for obvious reasons
How the fúck is a kid in Muswell Hill or Highgate in the catchment area for a school
in Enfield? There are schools less than half-a-mile away from us which we've been told there's no point applying to as we don't live close enough.
