Xplain this???
DaveS:
Our college stays open-because it is a military college and the students and some military staff live on base. All us civvy lecturers amanged to get in!
Schools being shut helped reduce the traffic and probably potential for accidents.
A colleague's wife is a headteacher, she had to close her primary school because alot of the staff live a fair way away, and because of health and safety/ class cover etc.
Bunnie:
I used to go to private school and with it being in the middle of no where and on a hill it would close when it snowed (on that very rare occasion). which ment some times the local state schools would be open while we were closed.
thermidorthelobster:
Our school was open on Thursday, but only half the kids turned up, because even though the roads were open and practically all of the 140 or so staff made it in, some from a good distance away, the bus companies claimed they couldn't run the buses.
Having seen buses driving up snow-covered mountains around the world, I'm not entirely clear why 2 inches of snow in Bracknell should be a problem.

--- Quote from: "smo" ---Because with 30-35 kids in a class if the teacher isnt there then all hell breaks lose!
Generally us adults dont need supervising and can look after ourselves!

Speak for your self :wink:

My guess is they're scared of getting sued if a kids slips over & grazes a knee or something
