I went to Emerson School, Oakwood Junior High School and Oakwood High School. for twelve years, and I cannot recall one day that we did not have school, or were let out early. Almost every day, on TV, some school has been let out for one reason or another.
We weren't close to a bank, so that accounts for no "lock downs," just in case a bank robber robbed a bank nearby. We never closed for "Weather" related occurrences. We even had a parade pass the school one day, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Charles Kettering and Orville Wright, and had to watch it from a window.
I walked to school every day, all those years, but, I did not have a ten pound backpack to lug, I just carried the needed books. I did have a motorbike, and rode that some days, and I did drive one year or two.
It seems like anymore a school bus has a wreck, a school closes for some reason or other. I never rode on a school bus, rarely ever saw one. The backpack might have been easier though.
