It has nothing to do with the parents dipshit...The district administration makes that decision! This idiot needs to remember it's "those parents" tax dollars that pay her salary.... 
I'm glad someone else noticed this.
My first thought was that schools close for the SAFETY of the kids and to facilitate NECESSARY traffic, not to coddle the teachers from getting their shoes wet in a little snow. The 'parent's babysitter'...hmmm, greenbrier, most of those parents have jobs that require them to work even when a few inches of snow has fallen...what makes you think that YOU get a free day off pass for NORMAL Kansas weather conditions where there is no emergency situations. Oh and the argument in town, I'm assuming that's where she works, would be that the city SHOULD be plowed and more drivable versus the suburbs and rural areas after snow(I know, not always the case due to the city's usual inefficiencies). And on that note, it's your own bleeding hearts who made it into a daycare service in the inner city. If you don't like it, go look in the mirror. The hated conservatives, most likely to live out in those areas that get the snow days you envy, haven't asked schools to stand in the same way, just that they educate their children. Snow days 'out here' are usually expected and planned for with back up situations: work from home, days off, relatives, friends, backup babysitters. Amazing how a conservative contituency versus a more democratic voting inner city one can seem to manage to plan FOR THEMSELVES in these eventualities.
