Feeblest excuse heard for closing a school?
 
"John Hall" wrote in message


My school never closed for a single day during the winter of 1962-3,
though admittedly the worst of the snow was during the Christmas
holidays. In my whole school career, I think there was only one day when
snow prevented me from getting to school (and that was in early March
one year).



Most teachers will do anything they can to get away from the nasty
little 2 OT's these days and I can't blame them.

I can see a time coming when every class will need three adults present,
not the two that is common these days.

Now who says that socialism doesn't work?


Russia, China, Italy, Britain, Latvia, Poland, Georgia, Afghanistan,
Chechnia, Hungary, Mongolia, Thibet, Korea, Roumania and few others I
forget just ATM.

Since this country is riddled with paedophiles and children are even
unsafe from children these days, it makes sense to have no risk to their
safe journeys to and from home interrupted by weather or any other
cause.

I'm sadly short of time tonight, so I'll just be brief:

Russia


1/2 billion DEAD under CAPITALISM.

China


Chiang Kai-sek: agricultural, overpopulated Asian nation,
Mao Tse-tung: industrial SUPERPOWER,

One could in fact say the same about Lenin's Soviet Union.

Italy


Italy was SOCIALIST?!

Do you just mean that a Marxist revolution was at some time
unsuccessful there?

Britain


Britain was SOCIALIST?!

Once again, do you just mean that a Marxist revolution was at some time
unsuccessful there?

Latvia


Part of the USSR, and your point is?

Poland


Again, the FIRST official Soviet satellite socialist state of Slavia.
(Phew, what a mouthful.:-))

Georgia


What about Georgia?

Afghanistan


What about Afghanistan?

Babrak Kamal would have made a GREAT leader for Kabul.

Chechnia


What about "Chechnia"(?)?

Hungary


What about Hungary?

Mongolia


What about Mongolia?

Thibet


1. LEARN HOW TO SPELL,
2. "TIbet" - FREE now under CHINESE rule, what about it?

Korea


1. Which one? Shall I just assume that you mean, the FREE, DEMOCRATIC
North, or the whole peninsula?,
2. What about it?

Roumania


What about Romania?

Most Romanians STILL love Ceausescu.:-o In fact, I wrote something
about this just earlier this afternoon.

Since this country is riddled with paedophiles and children are even
unsafe from children these days, it makes sense to have no risk to

their
safe journeys to and from home interrupted by weather or any other
cause.


WTF is this supposed to mean?:-(

Jesus, talk about trying to derail a losing argument!:-o :-(

Who's arguing. You asked a question I answered it. The majority of
partisans in Italy were inspired by communism. Where did it get them.
Where has it got anyone?

France was ruptured by it as was the UK. The reason being that the
people who were behinf global warming as it was were more interested in
producing stuff to sell than in the people they employed. It was ever
thus.

Money speaks louder than words.

And money as ever is behind what the people who run schools have to
consider. Modern infrastructures are not like they were, it's a s simple

I'll start the ball rolling. Heard from a Headteacher from the south on
Radio 5 Live this afternoon:-
"The toilets might freeze"
Let's hope he doesn't teach physics! Presumably the toilets are outside
and
they haven't heard of insulation. Even if it had been -10 every night this
week that still wouldn't have happened!
Doh!
Dave



Well on Radio Norfik the other morning, the excuse given by one teacher was
that as well as getting the kids into school, they had to *guarantee* to get
the kids home. One wonders why they don't close the school every day as,
let's face it, they can't guarantee a pupil isn't going to get runover once
they step outside the school gates :-(

You are an idiot.

That we also know.:-o :-)

talk about trying to derail a losing argument!


Who's arguing. You asked a question I answered it.


No, I did NOT "ask a QUESTION". I was STATING a FACT.

The majority of
partisans in Italy were inspired by communism.


If you mean Mussolini's early - circa 1920s? - definition of "fascism",
pre-Gentile, then, yes. The NBP themselves are said to view the early
fascism of Benito Mussolini - who WAS an ex-socialist - as being
POSITIVE.

In Russia, Mussolini is generally regarded as being on the LEFT-wing of
the political spectrum.

Where did it get them.


Obviously from the then-immensely strong Bolshevist inspiration to the
north-east, the French Revolution, PERHAPS, and early Paris Commune
influence prior to the late 1920s, etc., etc.. My Italian history is
admittedly not great.

Where has it got anyone?


???

France was ruptured by it as was the UK.


May 1968 in France, but name me a similar event in Britain. The closest
thing that we have surely had to this is Cromwell?

The reason being that the
people who were behinf global warming as it was were more interested

in
producing stuff to sell than in the people they employed. It was ever
thus.


And this has WHAT to do with the origins of Italian fascism/which
states are or were communist/whatever else political that we were just
arguing about?

Your statement is also very confusing. Could you please just clarify
that?

Money speaks louder than words.


So true.:-(

"In Russia, democracy is who shouts the loudest. In the US, it's who
has the most money" - Vladimir Putin. A great non-Marxist-type quote
there from the Russian President as perhaps regards this current
situation, certainly in the Occident.:-o :-(

And money as ever is behind what the people who run schools have to
consider. Modern infrastructures are not like they were,


This makes *some* sense. But, in that case, they just quite simply
WOULDN'T close the school at all on these snow days, surely?

it's a s simple
as that, you sad *******.


Now, that was totally UNCALLED for.

Thank you for just verifying my first initial insinuation that you
were, in fact, nothing more than a small boy, who has read a few
History books at school.:-o :-( Your exceptionally poor "spelling"
certainly proves this particular fact.
