It seems like the firefighters were able to at least contain the blaze to the church. I know classes have been suspended indefinitely. Not sure how much damage was done to the school/indoor sports complex. But the church will definitely have to be demolished and rebuilt.

What douche bag is downvoting all the comments about this?

Catholic School.

For those that don’t know this was not a small church. It may fall just below the mega-church status. It also operates a K-12 school and now have to find somewhere to send their 300 plus kids.

Out of 365 days in a year school districts only have 180 days of school. We’re tied with France with having the the fewest school days per year in a developed nation. Our children’s school days are pretty short compared to say Koreas 12 hours. Our students are allowed 18 days of absence before any consequences really are on the table.

That’s like you as an adult having a three day, seven hours a day, work week. You have the ability to change your schedule within reason so that if you want to work day five days a week you could then take two weeks off around Christmas, one week off in the Spring, and two and a half months off in Summer. Oh also have five days off for Thanksgiving and have every Federal holiday off. You would also receive 18 days of leave to be used however you choose. Paradise right. Imagine all that and then STILL needing a mental health day.

I’m all about my child’s mental health; he sees a therapist once a month. But there’s caring and then there’s codling. There’s got to be a line drawn in the sand between the toxic “suck it up kid” and them having to develop some form of mental fortitude.

This is what people don’t understand. They’re amped because they don’t have to shovel snow but don’t realize that the snowmelt was essential for the environment. Good knows what the Delaware river’s environment will look like in a decade as the salt water line continues to advance.
