Briarcliff 2 Hr Delay – WHY?

Briarcliff schools are on a two hour delay this morning for a dusting of overnight snow.  WHY?  Would any of our employers tolerate a two hour lateness over a dusting of snow?  As an employer, or manager, or supervisor, would you tolerate a two hour lateness over a dusting of snow?  Is this really how we are preparing our kids for the real world?  Reliability is an important attribute that is sorely lacking in many employees – especially the young ones.  Let’s teach them that when there’s a dusting of snow, or even an inch or two, they pull on their boots, find gloves, scarf and hat and get out to the bus stop at the regular time - just like they’ll have to do in the real world to hold a job.
