“So we've gone from 'some schools' (plural) to 'the school concerned' at the first sign of a challenge then Lionel. Fact and hyperbole do not mix, which is why I won't be taking your talk of 'riotous behaviour' too seriously either. Prideram's observations about Noel Baker have to be a concern though.”

“Non Party. The school concerned is in Nottingham. I worked there when it was closed due to the fear of injuries and riotous behaviour caused by snowball fights. Fact.”

“Noel Baker sent the kids home at 11.30 with no warning to parents, believe it or not but some children actually have both parents at work. There is less snow/frost on the ground now ( 3.40 pm ) than there was when the kids went to school, no wonder Noel Baker struggle in the league tables when they are willing to shut the school at the drop of a hat, some kids have been walking the streets since the school shut. Disgusting”

“Have to agree with Derek. Teachers today, especially senior staff, have to take responsibility for so much more than was once the case. The Compensation Culture together with H&S has left them responsible for everything from the quality of the water supply to pupils being able to make their own way home safely. As for Lionel B's comment... it must be the silliest yet...think you should go and have a sit down and plan some more teacher bashing!”

“Mr. Bronson, I did not copy, cut or retype my comment. I made a completely new comment, some points I may have repeated, but this was not copied.
My point is that we used to brave the weather whatever the conditions. As I say when I was attending junior school in 1963, one of the worst winters on record, my school remained open until 4:30 pm every week day, despite 15 foot snowdrifts along Osmaston Road and the school's toilets being outside and buried under 5 feet of snow. Schools are much better equipped with central heating. I suspect that the schools are closed because parents cannot drive the half mile or so through the snow to the schools. Very few of us had cars in 1963 so we all walked to school come rain, blizzards, floods or gale force winds.
The trouble is that we now live in a disinfected, cotton wool wrapped society that hides at the first sign of a sneeze or a snowflake.”
