They get a ton of snow days back there, and they start countdowns about two days before the storm until they get a day off, spend the day bragging about staying at home, and if it doesn't happen the whine like toddlers at a toy store who were told no. It's pretty pathetic and embarrassing to their profession. Not sure why it' expected that everyone else go to work except or teachers. I understand the safety of the children on buses and walking, but there's no reason the teachers aren't required to go to work on a snow day even though the children aren't there.

So far the most powerful arguments against teachers (don't know why discussion about teachers frequently turns into us vs. Them...) is that people have annoying friends. This is a personal problem, easily fixed. It's definitely not a teacher problem.
