When I grew up

conulyNYC didn't cancel school for anything. Godzilla could be roaming the streets, and schools would still be open. Sure, sometimes students stayed home anyway - but we got a lot more snow then than we do now anyway, so whatever.
With that in mind, I take a rather jaundiced look at closing schools for a predicted 5 - 8 inches of snow. Even if we had gotten a full 8 inches of snow, which we didn't, a delayed opening would've been more than sufficient. What about kids who only eat three full meals every day because schools are open? What about little kids whose parents still need to work? This is a hardship on their families, and utterly unnecessary.
