Some good news concerning teachers, human instinct to help and making good out of bad. Snow jams are common in Atlanta, this degree of congestion and trouble are not common. Teachers stepped up to the plate and brought great honor to themselves.

Most teachers are wonderful.

The system, however, should be sent to the Obama bin.

The kids will probably remember this for years, tell their grandchildren about being stranded at school “for days” due to a blizzard or some such thing. :)

Nice story. Good for them, doing what had to be done.

OTOH cynical side of me says they will be sued for allowing such dangerous activities as snowball throwing in the cold snow!

When I was in elementary school (back when Grover Cleveland was president), it was standard protocol to take a can or two of soup or pasta hot dish to school with your name on it just in case of stuff like this. We did this every November and took them home every April.

Teachers not only could hug you, but they could also smack you on the backside if needed.

It was one ugly mess out there. Folks in the metro area really don’t know how to drive in this kind of weather. They think they can just rev on through when they are on black ice ( or glazed ice later on). People could not make it up inclines and on and off ramps. The snow was more than the national weather service estimated and the storm hit way earlier than predicted.

Now every one is being asked to stay home until at least noon on Thursday. Schools are closed tomorrow all over.

All in all I think folks with no snow tires and most don’t have four wheel drive did pretty darned good. Some students had to shelter where they were because parents couldn’t get to them. They were safe and well taken care of.

A lot of folks are making fun of the number of reporters covering this storm. That is what LOCAL news should do. They kept us updated and followed all areas of the state to let people know what was happening. My hat’s off to them all.

For all those that went the extra mile, thank you for a job well done
