Bad Weather
Well yesterday we were forecast to have some pretty rough weather. We lucked out and the worst of it stayed to the south of us.
I was telling my husband that there was a particularly interesting debate going on in the forums of my local newspaper online. Anyway, the debate was regarding sending the kids home early. Where do you stand on sending the kids home early for bad weather? Last spring a high school got hit by a tornado south of where I live. 8 kids were killed in the High school because school officials opted to not send kids home. Here in the northern part of the state our schools let out early on that same day the tornado hit Enterprise Alabama.
I for one am glad that the schools here are cautious about sending kids home if the weather is going to turn bad. I know I do not have kids but, if I did I would want them to be safe and not in a school during bad weather. My husband and I were talking about this being something new sending the kids home early. When we were in school they did not send us home we had to sit in the hallways with head between legs and wait for the all clear to go back to class.
