I'm an "old Millenial" (almost 40), so I'm caught between the old and new generations, and I'm actually glad that schools are closed. I don't have kids, but can't stand the thought of schools forcing kids to go when there's possibilities of tornadoes and bad weather.

rarity that even a few days off is a small price for saving a few lives.
If it were more of a necessary risk due to frequency, I'd be upset.

Yup, it’s not about the kids in the school buildings. It’s about the kids who may be on busses. High winds broadsiding a bus wouldn’t have a good ending. Now, with e-learning, whether we agree or disagree with it, classes won’t be as far behind.

WYFF said there would be high winds and rain--no tornadoes.

Weather channel calling for tornadoes. But we are all from different areas so I would definitely plan according to your local news station.

Yea. Gotta be a lot safer for them to be home alone in the double wide while mom and dad are at work instead of being in a SCHOOL BUILDING.

I agree but more students equals more buses. High winds are not a busses best friend. In Charleston they take this seriously because of the bridges. And with the idiotic e learning days now it’s an easy decision for the districts.
