School Closings - Unexpected Opportunities
by
Kent R Kerr
Some parents think of school closings as their worst nightmare. They are used to the day going a certain way, and those things can get thrown out the window when the weather or some other unexpected occurrence that causes school to be closed. You may have to adjust your day and forget some of the things that you needed to get done and enjoy the extra time that you have with your kids.

Paul Fischer

Swine Flu School Closings
by
Mirian Guimaraes-Thomas
When a widespread outbreak of a contagious disease or virus occurs, sometimes governments, on the advice of their health advisors take action in closing some public institutions - schools are usually top of the list.

This latter action for obvious reasons causes far less disruption but is not without controversy!
