The School at which I work, while not closed due to the current weather did close for 1 day in December as most of the staff could not get to School at all (the journey took me 4 hours instead of 45 minutes). I will agree that some schools do appear more eager(?) to close but in fairness most teachers live a good distance from the school (40 miles in my case).<BR/>Parents Evenings are a source of fun however, at my first school I think the "Marie Celeste Crew Reunion" was better attended. 4pm to 9.30pm and not one parent! But I agree that some schools do not exactly help their case.<BR/>TTFN<BR/>MichaelAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
