schools closing to preserve gas Options

[*tweeak*]

I care about snow days. I don't need time off now. But I will damn well want them in February. Then, if we have snow, we'll be making it up in the summer. I want my summer ASAP. I do not believe in year round school, thankyouverymuch

[xklipse]

well, that's booty, how much is gas in georgia now?

1. California has awesome cold night after hot daytime.
2. California has snow on mountain (only) such as Big Bear but its man made.
3. It’s really far away from my home.
4. I want the taste of an actual snow and let it fall into my hot chocolate.

You can pack up and be prepared. I don’t have much to say to you but good luck!
Do you have a friend that has a cellar at the bottom of their home? It can be really useful and safer. You can hide there and hold onto something.

we usually get a couple of inches...and they're fun. plus, we always have an ice storm. they pretty much call off school at the sign of a couple of flakes

yeah, suzzette, it really does. tonight was so f**king hot. why won't the humidity go away?!

[*xcaitlinx*]

yeah i knew that california gets cooler at night and such...but it doesn't actually snow does it?

this is one of the reasons why i actually LIKE living in new jersey...

it's hot in the summer (98 or so degrees), cool in the fall/spring, and cold and snowy (atleast 2 feet a year..most of the time) in the winter.

now i want Christmas to come =( too bad it's not for a while.

hey, atleast my brithday is in a week! wooot.

It doesnt snow. The snow in California is man made.

[nhj_2006]

mm, i agree too. i think gwinnett county makes up days and dekalb doesnt =\ sucky, at least we get four day weekend this week, and the week after that.

[LiLEthiopian]

What kind of gas are you saving by closing schools?

[gelionie]

We don't have that in HK.
I guess it's not really a problem here.

[SillyCourtney]

it's not really that...gas costs a lot of money these days and some people can't afford to shuffle their kids to school and the schools don't have the money to fill up all those buses...

Umm. Not really. You have to provide a LOT of gas for kids going to school on a bus, and it could cause a lo of problems.

You both just pretty much proved my point. They care more about money than they do education.

[xscore]

i think that's a good idea, actually.

[Atobe_Keigo]

People in Harry Potter did just "poof" there. They had to take a train, then take either the boats across the lake or they took a carriage up to the castle. Sorry, I just had a itch to correct you.

This is news to me too. I hope my school doesn't close down.

Ahaha! I knew that, but yeah...I was just making it easier for me to say. I couldn't type everything, but it would be nice to apparate! xD

[*AngelicEyz00*]

It snows in California... Well, the mountains at least.

[hall0w]

wtf r they stupid?

[*x____duckii*]

Wow, that's just dumb. Sure, that may preserve some gas, but then again, you can just walk to school.

[SillyCourtney]

^ I think some people are saying it's just stupid without thinking through it first.

And walking to school is pretty unrealistic for some--since my house is a 15 minute drive from my school...and walking would take a pretty long time.

And it's not like I'm walking for fun...I'd be carrying books, and an instrument with me.

Besides, I'm trying to get an education not a work out.

Yea, my school is only about a mile and a half away, not too far in reality.. but considering I have to carry about two heavy textbooks and lal the other stuff in my backpack, an instrument, my water bottle and clothes for marching band, it would get pretty tiring.

why would I pack? I live in Georgia. And yeah, most people here have basements (I do too). No one has "cellars."

I thought it through, and still think it's stupid.

But maybe just because the timing is awful and I'm selfish *shrug*

Very few people could walk to my school. It would take forever, no matter which side you live on, and we'd likely all get run over

with a 30lb bookbag and an instrument, no f**king way. especially not in Georgia heat. I would faint. I don't ride the bus anyway, though

[heyyfrankie]

i think it's stupid and texas hasn't done that...yet.=.=

[*jooleeah*]

Umm. No...

Look, we're not even missing the amount of education that we're supposed to get each year. We're using the snow makeup days for missing these two days, so we still get the 180 days of school that we're supposed to have each year.

Know your facts before you argue.

[sprezzatura]

Lucky me. Education is more important. I would rather not want the school to be closed because I would have to make up those days in the summer.

[StarryEyedSurpri...]

wow that is retarded. I hope that doesn't happen here

So, a drill officer of my section called me and told me practice was back on for Tuesday, so I assumed they told section leaders to call around. However, 3 of my friends (2 of whom are also drill officers) have already told me they didn't know about it. Was this some kind of joke because I keep skipping sectionals? I am not amused. If we don't have practice, I'm going to kill her.

[*tweeak*]

I wouldn't. If we had sectionals then, I would fall asleep after coming in 20 minutes late. I went to one sectional, we didn't get anything done, so the next one I came half an hour late for, and they were already done doing things. Then I had a doctor's appointment, and the next I had a shitload of homework. This past one, I went, but they were doing passoffs, and I refuse to play for any of my section leaders, so I left. So in reality, I did more than they think I did. Sorry, I don't have 5 hours to waste after school. They can't punish me, either. We never have to run laps. My section has crappy leadership all of whom I share a mutual hate with. A couple sections have to do pushups if they're late, though. My section is too heavily female dominated for that.

^ I think the buses use Diesel...
...I went to Palmdale, California in the winter of 2001 and it snowed.

i mean, it does snow but it's man made snow.
