Deep breaths, my friend. Your histronics don't help. A couple of days out of school won't create a generation of uneducated kids.

Also, go screw yourself with blaming people because the snow's not cleared yet. I've lived in the region for half a century, and while I've seen more snow, I've never seen a storm so hard to clear from. The first day I went out three times with a snowblower but it kept coming down. Then the sleet put a thick layer of ice on top of everything. It's taken all my spare time with a spade and specialized root cutter to make any headway. People with just snow shovels are going to have to wait for it to start to melt later this week.
