Re: The World will end - ITS SNOWING ??

Our school did not close due to the snow but I know that some in Ossy did.

Like Lancsdave said, some teachers live quite a way away so if they can't get in to school on time or at all then the school can't be open.

I was never made aware of where my teachers lived when I was at school so can't comment on that one.

Years ago not all teachers would have had a car so would have had to work locally.

Not so these days, they have the choice of working locally or if they get a job at a particular school in another town they could take that.

Both have their plusses and minuses I would think.

If a teacher works in their home town......well, they have no problem getting to work in the snow.

If they work away from their home town they get a bit of respite from seeing the kids at evenings/weekends.

Seems to me that people used to have a reason not to go to work.Now they just have an excuse.

That's all well and good if you can do that,but millions of people brave the elements and go to work because they know that people depend on them.
Well that and they don't get paid to stay at home.Countries gone soft!!!

Re: The World will end - ITS SNOWING ??

Just got back from a walk downtown to see the lights, the store displays, the tree in market square and the lights on the trees in the inner harbour. The ferry to Wolfe Island (for some strage reason they call her the Wolfe Islander) is also all dressed up for Christmas .... more snow would be real nice
