I'm sitting here, in my chair, at my desk, at work, and as I turn around to look out the big picture window of our office..............I see SNOWFLAKES falling, again! It's soooo pretty! We got anywhere's from 5 to 10 inches last night in about 8 hours, and they pretty much cancelled school thru the whole state................Morton, I work for the Board of Ed, in the transportation dept. It's part of my job to make sure the kids get to and from school SAFELY. I was thinking over the situation of why they cancel so quickly now, (they even cancelled last week because of extreme cold) and I have come to realize that it is partly because many of the parents are so quick to threaten the BOE with a lawsuit! I cannot tell you how many parents I've had call and say: "if something happens to my child, you will be hearing from my lawyer!" It's sad. Also, another reason, I think, is the world has gotten much more crowded than it was when we were kids, and more complicated, and let's face it, most of the kids today would rather sit in front of a computer or a TV set than go outside a sled or build snowmen or forts.
