Do schools still have books? All I see these days is young children with laptop computers and tablets (not slates).

A disconnect from real life to assume families have a home library. Very few schools allow reading books to even go home.

Many parents will also be happy that the PLP Government is shutting down and encouraging other businesses to do the same. That way the children will not be home alone.

Unnecessarily harsh. Many parents will welcome some guidance as to appropriate activities during this time away from the classroom.

‘Journaling’? No wonder our public education is in the sad state it finds itself.

This is absolutely ridiculous and this is why the private schools teachers and students seem to have a more balanced educational experience. They are not obsessed with optics and political points. You would rather children and their family focus on scholastic activities during a significant weather event for fear of them missing one or two measly days than focus on their well-being?? Is the department that detached from reality? Its almost as if they are trying to prove a point that is to say nothing, not even God himself and the weather can stop us from learning. I’ve never seen such an over achiever mentality achieve such mediocre results. Completely lost the plot.
