I was joking. The Sindh Government has taken a great step forward by for the first time actually thinking for the students and they have done this to protect the children of our nation. Ofcourse, Canada is more immune to cold winter's than us, I had forgotten and I am very sorry.

@the Skunk: You talk about freezing weather. Please tell me how 8 degrees(lowest temperature in Karachi for the whole of next week) is freezing? Oh and btw Canada experiences severe weather when temperatures fall as low as -40 at that temperature even 'insulated buildings' do'nt work, but do they close down schools?
