Because if you have kids, you have to get this week off. Double whammy.
Fat kids mean more cars
Traffic congestion goes way up when schools are back. Why do they all have to start at the one time? Their opening hours can be staggered elsewhere so why not here? Of course bringing back good old fashioned school buses would do no harm either.
They do stagger them where I live. So the secondary school starts at 830am, the educate together primary starts at 845am and the gaelscoil starts at 9 am. all those schools are right beside each other so it would be a complete chaotic nightmare if they all started at the same time. I’d say there would be car accidents to beat the band…
Well I know of one town where all four schools start at 9. It goes from free flow to grid lock depending on the school calendar. In another, two very large second level schools on a main road right besides each other start at exactly the same time.
It is common sense to stagger because it makes life easier for students, parents and especially the rest of us. Even moving all of them to a 8:15 / 8:30 start would ease the situation because it is before the rush half hour where people are trying to get to work for 9.
Sitting in traffic, complaining about the traffic.
Worst rap since Debbie Harry in Rapture.
Her name is Aifric, is that how you spell Aifric?
Liathróidí: that was for Bertie.
You’ve lost me now :)
it would also evaporate if the offices and shops all closed for the week – what’s your point. Kids have to go to school.
