Yesterday my school cancelled first lesson because a lot of the staff couldn't get in, which meant we started at 9:45. Unfortunately had I of know this before I went to school, and had my school like other said there would be a staggered start, I would not of had to venture there as I only had one lesson. And guess when it was? That's right... it was first period.
Then today, even though it took staff and pupils ages to arrive, school still started at a 'normal' time (8:45). Which yet again meant a lot of people were late in. And then at 12:00 the school closed as it began to snow heavily. If the school had looked at the weather forecast in the morning, they would have known this and many people would not have had to make their way home. Especially since after watching the news a report said that people should not travel unless it is absolutely necessary... So why was the school open?
I also spoke to my friend who goes to school in Leeds City Centre, she had to go in and then travel home at 11:00 as her school closed early too but she had to travel back to Rawdon. Now this would usually take around 40 minutes, but it took her around 4½ hours. Now this could have been avoided if all the schools had just shut as the weather forecasts did say heavy snow.
So considering the weather reports for Leeds tomorrow. Let's hope the schools aren't open.
