ANOTHER TIME....not snow but another time I TOOK my kid from school....
When Tab was a sophmore we had some FREAK storm like the day before school was out for the summer...and the school caught fire too.
SOOooo, they had the kids OUTSIDE where trees were falling and a TERRIBLE storm was storming around them....I went and yes, several HUNDRED kids huddling outside while the fire dept was in the building.
I FINALLY went to a teacher, told the teacher "I am taking my student....IF they are able to reenter school and go to classes she is EXCUSED by ME"
They never went back into the building that day for class. They had the kids outside for hours (later some Pace buses were brought for them to sit in..and THAT is what the newspaper focused on, how the kids were safe on buses (ummm, not! I SAW them out in the crazy storm NOT sheltered for a LONG while)).
Another time that I took the mom veto power. Less bureauacracy (spelled wrong I am sure) when I have the only vote.
