Dubai is a mess when it rains.<\/p>\n

The roads flood, traffic’s a nightmare but the biggest question of all hangs over schools, will they stay open, will they shut… and you can imagine the KHDA, (the Knowledge and Human Development Authority) Dubai’s education authority who have the final word on whether all schools will remain open or not, had to deal with a load of questions from cautious parents on Sunday night, when the rain began to pour.<\/p>\n

The KDHA’s social profiles have always taken a lighthearted approach<\/a> to their responses. But throughout yesterday, the tweets caused a genuinely dumb-founded reaction, (it’s so rare social profiles show a sense of humour) and while some reckon the tweets were taking a lighthearted approach to a potentially dangerous situation, others thought these tweets were a breath of fresh air, with people even suggesting the KDHA brought light to the gloomy day.<\/p>\n

(The tweets have been deleted, but the screen shots live on. What do you reckon, funny or no?)<\/h4>\n

It started off light hearted<\/h4>\n<\/p>\n

The KHDA did delete many of the tweets, but Twitter still loves them<\/h3>\n
\n

The belief that my kids are in safe hands strengthens on seeing the @KHDA<\/a> tweets!! With this amount of wit and humour, the future looks depression-free!<\/p>\n

There were lots of positive responses<\/h4>\n
\n

There will always be moaners and groaners. Pay no heed!<\/p>\n

Other even want to do the same<\/h4>\n
\n

This has to be the most brilliant social media moment in the UAE. We’ve had clients calling us, wanting to know how to be more like KHDA. Love it – as a marketer and a parent. It’s a shame they deleted the posts.<\/p>\n

We try to be funny sometimes, but that doesn\u2019t mean we\u2019re not serious about our students\u2019 safety. We love you all, rain or shine! \u2764\ufe0f\u2764\ufe0f<\/p>\n
