TASK 1
You live on a road that is a main bus route to the local secondary school. During the cold weather, your road did not get gritted. Write a letter to the council persuading them that your road needs to be made a priority road for gritting.
The council’s address is:
Suffolk County Council Headquarters
Prospects House
Main Street
Ipswich
IS4 0TV
Dear Sir
I am writing this letter of complaint to express my dissatisfaction with the standard of gritting which was not carried out during the period when snow and ice was on our roads.
Although I live on a main bus route which would take my children to school this road was never gritted therefore my children were unable to attend their secondary school as the busses

Children who travelled by bus couldn’t get here as busses had been cancelled, children who walked to school didn’t arrive as their paths were slippery and a danger to their safety.
Therefore a decision had to be made and it was after due consideration of all safety aspects that “The school was closed” until the weather was a little better.
Should the weather be bad next year the same situation will apply. “The school will be closed” and all parents and cares will be notified the day before or as early as possible.
TASK 3
You are a student at the school that was closed during the bad weather. Write a contribution to the forum discussion giving your opinion on the closure and why.
I attend the secondary school which was closed over the period of heavy snow falls last month. Personally I feel as soon as it snows everyone says “oh my god can’t go to school it’s snowing” or “oh my god can’t go to work the roads are too bad” in other words its and excuse to have a day or two off and have fun tobogganing, building snowmen or just having fun in the snow as it doesn’t snow very often so you just have to make the most of it.
Everyone love to have the time to do these fun things no matter what age you
Students were hoping for school to end early, but classes resumed around 10:30 a.m. Students from other schools hoped for everyone in DuVal to stay safe.
Children’s act 2004 - Every Child Matters – Children, as well as being kept safe from harm should also be able to achieve their educational needs.
Having school all year can be burdensome, and can have slight disadvantages in this area. The burden is placed on teachers, students, administrators, parents, and many more.
prior to any disturbance in the schools ever happening; it was then ruled that there was no large scale
Since parents can no longer drop off their kids at school, some students would have no way to get to school. Some students on their way home from school are watched by an older sibling. With later start times It is possible that the older sibling would not get home in time to watch the younger sibling. There are quite easy solutions to these problems, Students could be driven by a friend to school. They could take the bus. Also when students are ready to come home, they could be dropped off at a group, or go home with a friend, until their parents are there to pick them up. There are many solutions to this
Los Angeles schools are closed because of a terrorist threat that turned out to be a hoax. These terrorist threats have affected these schools in California. This all happened on December 15. They opened schools on Wednesday December 16.
School shouldn’t be year around because of these reasons. Students will be tired, the dropout rate will
Professor Ensworth, I would demand that the school be open. I am not a parent but can sympathize with parents for missing work, or the cost of babysitters, or cutting in the much-needed vacation time. Things like this can throw life into a frenzy. If the district closed that many times and never was a serve storm new rules clearly need to be implemented.
They had full knowledge that this was not going to be a dusting. The radar had our area pegged for roughly two inches. Their motive was clear to me, and everyone that their intention was to get us past lunch, so they could get paid for a full day. Their is no way you can tell me that leaving immidiately once the snow started was not in the best interest of the students. Waiting another hour after the snow had started to dismiss, was in their best interest. In my eyes, the students safety should be the number one
My daughters, my husband, and I have just gotten home from closing our family owned convenience store. It was a late September night, there was a slight breeze and the nights were starting to get colder now. Everyone in the house was shuffling around as they got ready for bed and prepared for the next day to come. I grabbed the remote and flipped through the channels on the TV. I didn’t quite feel like getting up yet, my feet were still aching from a long-labored day. There was talk of the weather and how’d it would be getting cooler now that we were going to enter October. After a bit, they did a recap of all the segments today concerning 43 missing students.
Do you want to miss school? They should dismiss school four days earlier. Dismissing school four days earlier would save the district money by not paying for school lunches, not using the buses, not using the ventilation system. four days earlier.
I love when it snows because it shows that winter is here and a chance of no school. But, I also don’t like when it snows because it’s so cold. So I don’t love snow with a burning passion and I also don’t despise it, I’m somewhere in between and I’m sure many other people are too. A weird weather phenomenon that could occur in our area is a tsunami while its snowing.
“I’m sorry sir but the school is closed today due to the extreme rain,” said the gatekeeper at Mount Caramel.
The duty was now placed on the Local Authority, and as a result of “Every Child Matters” (2003) every child needed to:
Firstly, we had to take into account realistically how many students there could potentially be cycling to and from school, we realised that this is a much smaller number than students who were to walk or use another mode of transport. If a student was using a push bike to get to school its more than likely that they live over half a mile away due to this there are health and safety measures that must be put in place by both the council as well as the Academy. As the law states that cyclists must ride on the road we feel like it could be unsafe for a child aged 5-11 to be using roads especially in an area where they maybe heavy traffic. We suggest that the academy put in rules and policies that students have to follow to protect their wellbeing such
