All that for this ? It barely falls 8 inches of snow and schools are closed. It is announced even before the fall of the first snowflake. Was it really necessary to prevent the children from going out, those who have been locked up for a month? Couldn’t school transportation really be done safely? It’s not a great mark of confidence in our bus drivers… I find us quite sluggish sometimes.
Wouldn’t it have been better to welcome the students to the school, even if there were a little delay because of the transport? No doubt that with this abundant snow and especially the reunion with their friends, after a month of “confinement”, the children would have been a little turbulent.
But let’s bet that, in any case, there wouldn’t have been much done in class on this late start day. And that the teachers should have waited until the next day to get on with the “real business”. Now it’s been postponed for a day and the real learning may not resume until Wednesday. Seems to me that COVID had already wasted enough time, right?
And what about the parents, who had already been “stuck” with their offspring at home for a month, and on whom this additional “penalty” was imposed!
Of course, it’s always difficult to accurately predict the weather the next day. However, our “weather media” and other temperature ayatollahs have a talent for scaring the world with their “winter storm warnings” on a red background, often accompanied by apocalyptic images. This is once again an opportunity to remember that in Quebec, it sometimes snows. It is snowing less and less. And that’s what our weather whistleblowers should be concerned about.
