Not to sound like an old fuddy-duddy, but does it occur to anyone else that schools are a bit too trigger happy when it comes to closing down because of the weather?
I'm sure the decision-making process isn't easy -- and who can really fault schools for choosing safety first -- but (and here we go) in my day it certainly seemed like we went to school come hell or, quite literally, high water.
A number of area schools cancelled classes today, even though roads seemed perfectly navigable.
If the Kaneland School District Web site is accurate (notice the date stamp), the district made the decision to cancel classes on Monday -- in anticipation of the storm. Lesson here: Never trust the meteorologists.
