Some of the grammar and spelling is atrocious!! If you are going to complain about having to go to school, then at least prove you don't need to go by using correct punctuation, spelling and grammar. Good grief. @ LOL, I was thinking the same thing! Some of the grammar and spelling is atrocious!!

However, if school gets called off 12 hours in advance every time we have a line of thunderstorms, we will not have very many days of school. The concerning thing is the attitude shown here and that I often see from parents of students. Every parent says how important education is for their child, but their actions speak louder than their words, especially to your children. If you as a parent let your children miss days of school when they are not sick, you do not value education as much as others do. I have to wonder about education levels of parents who let their kids skip school, because I don't think many people in health care, engineering, education, or other fields with a college degree (who have much more opportunities and employment options) are letting their kids stay home. They know just how important each assignment and day of school is in order to succeed. Often the students who miss the most school are the ones who cannot afford to miss a single day, yet their parents just don't seem to get it. I love this area and the people here, and I really wish that we would understand how essential education is. There is not a right or wrong answer here.

Some of these comments..........you ever wonder why kids are the way they are nowadays? You don't have to look very far. It's storming........that is all....... Also, when making assumptions about your superintendent .......even IF he didn't care about all of the "other" children in the county's well being....I don't think he would put his own GRANDCHILDREN, whom attend school in Escambia County FL, in harms way.........js WOW!

Wow. The median teacher salary is $50k and Malcolm Thomas's punk behind makes $137k a year. I know some folks with college degrees who can't even find a job and some who only make $28-34k. Sorry, I know teachers have a lot on their shoulders but I think a $50k average is pretty decent. Especially when your doing something your supposed to love. @Parent

Do none of you work, or does your boss tell you every time there is a chance of bad weather to stay home? I have bills to pay, so if your boss tells you to stay home WITH pay every time weather is bad, let me know where you work so I can apply there too! I would love to be home, but weather doesn't stop my workplace from being open. To all the parents bashing Mr. Thomas for school being open today and saying your children will be home with you….
