I am a little confused about this posting. to the best of my knowledge, MOST Lakewood schools are open today. I would guess that probably 99% or more are open. Perhaps the public schools are closed but they are by far the minority.
In my day, many schools did not have limudei chol on a legal holiday. In Lakewood however today is no different than any other day except for garbage pickup and mail.
I am not confused it is a National Holiday !
Why would not everyone Honor that ?
and all the garbage pails are out making our town look sloppy!!!!!!
To #1
Learn to accept that there is a very real world around you.
To #1 “by far the minority”? Wow!
to no. 3 – take a look around. It’s not the garbage pails that makes this town look sloppy.
to #3 – the garbage pails should not be out today!
to #5 – are you saying that the majority of Lakewood schools were closed today?? And #4 says that I am not part of the real world.
In Lakewood the majority of schools were open today. That is the REAL truth!! Whether you agree or disagree with the policy, the real world is based on facts.
Why was this posted as Lakewood news when it is not true in lakewood?
I apologize. The moderator obviously changed the original post to say that PUBLICschools are closed today. That is not what is said when I posted my original question.
It states “Most public schools, universities and banks are also closed. There will be no U.S. Postal ”
so why should that not be posted for Lakewood?
to #8
you are a society within a society, take no offense but facts are facts.
To local piney – amen!
