It certainly shouldn't be put at risk because folk in the 'I remember when' days walked to (and from) school in skin blistering conditions.Plus the recommended minimum temp for the workplace is 16degrees....


...Besides,kids can enjoy a extra day off and they get to play in the snow (every cloud).
As usual you are in contrary mode, however nothing to do with winters being colder back then, nothing to do with kids not knowing they are born.

A great deal to be because of the attitude of those in secure jobs and folk like you.
The attitude of today is:-

I don't need to be responsible and turn up, my life is good, stuff the kids and parents that will get to the school, I'm not taking my 4x4 out of the garage, I'VE got an excuse to stay home.

As for kids at risk? Obviously, back then we would (as kids) have enjoyed a day off school to spend in the snow, but, by example the teachers went to work, our parent's faught their way through blizzards to work, it was an example of being responsible and not letting others down (or expecting others to cover for your lack of responsibility) that seems to have skipped several generations, you seem to go out of your way to prove it...


...why?
