I want to complain about this content:

Kempster: I agree with you on the first point, it was the same when I was at school. Unfortunately we now live in a far more litigious society where every slip, fall, knock or accident can be seemingly blamed on someone else, even if it is down to sheer bad luck andor judgement. Regarding your second point, schools are closed primarily due to the risks weighed in in assessing whether it is safe and practical to get several hundred children safely in in the morning and out in the late afternoon, both at times when temperatures are barely rising or starting to fall. Plus playgrounds can sheet ice which is asking for trouble... Businesses are run by adults who are far more capable (you'd like to think) of travelling safely to work. Plus they are there to generate money - which is a great motivator! I'm at work right now but I wouldn't be impressed by anyone who took a lead from teachers and gave themselves the day off!
