I'm one of the girls in this article. For those who are complaining about us "skiving" i think you should recognise the definition of the word. My sister and i were at the park at 7.30 as we live about a minute walk away,"Unable to get to school but evidently able to get to Saumarez Park" - True. School is in town, the park is next to my house. Thank you for pointing that out. Our schools told us not to worry if we weren't there early/at all as they knew snow was likely to happen and transport could be difficult. So, we called our schools before school started and told them we would be in a bit late and they both told us that it wasn't a problem. All of us were in school by lunchtime. At my school, there were only 60/450 students absent for the whole day. Those of you talking about "children nowadays" are stereotyping and discussing the habbits of sixthformers- i'm a sixthformer and spend most of my day studying, rarely do i leave except for doctors, dentist etc. At the end of the day, we were at the park for just over half an hour because we live right next to it and were in school for the rest of the day. Snow is fun and exciting, yes, i'm not planning on being top of the world like those of you moaners seem to claim to be, i'm on track with my studies and so am allowed a little fun for half a day.
