Maybe you baws shouldn't have had kids if one day of trying to keep them safe from possible tornadoes makes you break down so badly.

I’m just jealous we didn’t get days off like this when I was in school

Wait, PJ is now a reliable source of information?

I assume the people upset with his prediction are in areas around Baton Rouge meaning they will get hit when he is inevitably wrong.

If i felt the need to keep my kids home from school for safety reasons, i would. I don't need the gov't to tell me when i should do that. They aren't home for safety reasons. They are home for liability reasons in that extremely low chance a tornado forms and happens to hit the school while they are in school and kills kids.
being killed by a tornado is just shitty luck.
there isnt' a damn thing you can do about it in south louisiana b/c we don't have basements. If it decides to hit the building you are in, you're screwed. If it doesn't, you're going to be ok. There is no way to know which buildings it decides to hit. This isn't like evacuating for a hurricane where you know you got far away to be safe.

If one building with 100s of kids gets hit, a lot more kids die than if the building was empty or if the tornado hits your house.
It's really not hard to find the reasoning behind it, but you want to be some "I don't need the gubment telling me what to do" hardo.

In south LA, I would venture to say cancelling schools leads to more deaths during inclement weather than not canceling schools. Kids go from a controlled environment of a school with teachers and adults in a safe building, to god knows what kind of living situation and housing structure
It isn’t about actual safety

100% agree, also think it has a lot to do with not wanting to put parents and school buses on the road during bad weather

Quite a stretch here.
That would be the fault of the parents, not the school anyways.

Okay? They didn't create their homelife or housing situation.

I’m not saying the Baton Rouge area will be destroyed, but the shite didn’t get here YET.
You’re correct, but I don’t think the criticism is unwarranted. Schools boards have a reputation of overreacting and cancel classes far too often. The worlds a scary place. But you still have to go out in it. Even when the weather is bad. That’s a lesson that needs to be repeated.

Here is my belief
If you told them this:
A There is a 0.1% chance of a child dying if you cancel school
B There is a 0.001% chance of a child dying if you don’t cancel school
They would absolutely still choose A because of the feeling “well we just have to do something” that plagues so many decision makers today. It’s not actually about actual risk avoidance.

Man shut the frick up. Sound like a tool. The weather is going to be pretty bad later and not safe for busses full of children on the road.

Well of course. And how many times has this actually happened?
I'll tell you.
In the last 50 years, there have been 7 instances of a tornado related death at a school.
3 school related deaths in 1978 in FL
9 school related deaths in 1989 in NY (30 deaths total)
1 school related death in 1993 in Grand Isle (3 deaths total)
8 school related deaths in 2007 in AL (20 deaths total)
7 school related deaths in 2013 in OK, (24 deaths total)
A tornado hit a school in April of this year in Texas and didn't kill anyone.
They are likely a lot safer inside some structure at school than they are at most homes.
