“jezhull is also ignoring the fact that teachers have nothing to do with schools closing, either because he can't read or his self involved bigotry and ignorance is making him blind.
"laziness" doesn't come into it, your lack of capability to understand basic facts does.”

"So why did schools never close in the 60's and 70's due to snow?
Teachers in general are a lazy bunch of public sector workers. We know it and they know it."
They did. I had snow days in the 70's.
You're completely ignorant about teaching. The most ignorant are usually the ones complaining most. All mouth and no substance.”

"If teachers use snow asan excuse for a day off, don't pay them! Maybe then they would not be so keen to close schools. Funny how the employees at private companies all seem to get to work"
Who said Teachers are using it as an excuse ? who said teachers can't get to work ?
Point to any evidence in this story *at all* where it says that the teachers have anything to do with the school closing. You won't find it because it only exists in your bewildered head.”
