If you are going to list all closed schools, then do it properly. This is only a small selection of those closed. The Press with only half the story again......

One or two may be running low on fuel - deliveries are being held up by the bad weather.
For others, it may be that staff live some distance away with no indication when - or if - they will be able to get through. Heads need to have a basic level of staffing on site to ensure the safety of pupils what ever the weather.
There is a list of closed schools on the York Council web site.

Man with a view wrote:Clearly you've never been in charge of a school. Many teachers live some distance from their schools, as do many pupils. It's pointless opening just to act as a child-minding centre for the ones who can make it, which is what would happen. There is also the added factor of weather changeability in the current conditions. Unfortunately someone has to make a decision and stick to it. That's what leadership is about. Clearly you can't please everyone and you're the evidence of that. By the way, the people the teachers deal with are children, not kids.
its a disgrace schools shutting - they should be open for those kids & teachers who can get in. What if every other service in the country decided to close because of the weather

Secondly, of course they sometimes have to close. Maybe you have a chelsea tractor, maybe your local roads aren't too bad. But you need a certain amount of staff to run a school safely or productively. If one teacher can't come in, who takes her class? Plus even getting to school is a hazard, and slipping on the playground could mean a court case for an unfortunate head. It's a tough decision to make, but often it's the only sensible one.
Bragging about getting your child to school along 5miles of ungritted roads in heavy snow surely shows an irresponsibility as a parent rather than some heroic feat that should be praised.
