      What is it with teachers? My Mother-in-law's carers have made it through the snow to help her, some by foot as their cars weren't up to it. I also noticed that all our village shop workers managed to get in and open up, I suppose they wouldn't have been paid otherwise. Whereas the teachers announced school closures the day before, I guess they don't have to forgo a day's pay if they don't work, unlike me.

        It's not just the teachers - how come the school kids students who are supposed to make it into school if at all possible, find it possible to get to the local town or local hill (complete with sledge), but find it impossible to get to their school even if they have to pass it on the way to their alternative destinations?

          8;45 phoned local school to double check they are open yes no problem ok we kids on sledge and drag them to school as it is to slippy underfoot for the youngsters (not quite 4 yet ) we drop then off again checking they are staying open 9;05 re trudge back home to house phone voice mail left at 9;08 stating that due to health and safety reasons and the extreme snow fall we are having the school would like all children collected asap ( what we dont understand is it was snowing no heavier at 8;45 than it was at 9;05 0r 9;08 or for that matter since 7;30am ) why make every one drive or walk in only to be sent home literally 3 mins later . we are luck we live minuets from the school but not every one is just seems crazy to me
