Thanks @ProfessorMom1 , so I’m not completely off base thinking that this is something that could be addressed at the school level. And standby wasn’t something I had thought of before this thread, DD declined that but thanks (obviously she’s not THAT upset this year). Annoyed, like I am.
But most importantly thanks everyone for sharing your thoughts and perspectives. I’ve gained some new insights and a couple of practical suggestions to deal with this in future years, as I’m sure it will continue.
Happy Thanksgiving to all and safe travels if you or your kids are traveling…sounds like many will have weather related travel issues this year.
