You Are To Be Late For School


In the morning of this cold January day, I am watching American U.S. television programs of no particular importance — unless you are named Maury or Jerry and would like to know the paternity of your violent ex-lover's baby — otherwise the television is not important at this time of day. It is being late morning.

That said, I am noticing many local area neighborhood school district places are displaying their daily closings and delays at the bottom of the screen, due to the fact that it is colder here than a witch's teat atop Mount Kanchenjunga. At -20 celsius, children who wear short leggings and thin jackets to their bus stop can effectively force the closure of school. Yesterday, all area school district places were closed for the day, but today there are many delays of 1 or 2 hours.

So I am to be wondering why, if your area school district place is delayed for 1 or 2 hours, why is the alert still being displayed across the bottom of the television screen when the time is being almost noon? Does the school not usually commence until 10:00am o'clock? Or are parents who watch Jerry and Maury unaware that their children should even be attending school, paternity notwithstanding? I suspect that if you are still watching television at noon and you don't know if your children are to be in school yet, your problems are greater that you realize, so help me Rama.
