Yes. And not a very good one but nice try. |
| They will wear those boots in college and use an umbrella. |
How sad that your child lacks the dexterity to change boots in a crowded hallway or while standing up. You should prioritize exercise if they’re already this physically incompetent. |
I don’t know anyone who can put on and tie tennis shoes standing up. Moreover, there isn’t enough time to change shoes before the bell rings. |
I can and I am a middle aged woman. You must hang out with incredibly unhealthy people. BUT, what if little Larla put the shoes on her feet (maybe with the laces tucked in so they don’t drag) and then, crazy idea, ties them when she inevitably sits down? And the solution to not having enough time is: Get to school earlier. Duh. Really, I’m surprised some of you people can even navigate your way out of bed in the morning. |
We can’t control the bus schedules, moron. |
It’s clear you are trolling now. It seems most kids do fine wearing tennis shoes and don’t need the hassle of changing from boots to shoes at school. And I suppose their wet soaked boots would go in their locker? Which barely holds their backpack?! Lol. |
What do you care if my kid doesn’t want boots? |
I agree. This is very dramatic. |
Or you know, just wear tennis shoes. Problem solved. |
+1 I guess PP’s snowflake just has to have her boots (Mommy probably makes her) in addition to extra salt in her pocket for those icy patches every am. She probably trained her on the art of changing from boots to regular shoes at middle school. Does she also bring a wet bag to put her boots in when she arrives? |
| Our kids (upperclassmen) in FCPS do not get lockers. They have no place to store snow boots and heavy jackets. |
As opposed to their wet soaked boots being on their feet all day and tracking snow/mid throughout the school? Unsafe, unhealthy, and just plain gross. |
So how are tennis shoes any different?! |
It’s funny that you think you are insulting me, but actually yes I do have my children wear snow boots outside in the snow, change into indoor shoes when they are indoors, and store their wet things appropriately such that they are not making a mess for themselves, me, or other people. I follow these same guidelines for myself. If you’re not incompetent it takes probably an extra 1-2 minutes per day. It sounds like some of you are just too darn lazy to teach your kids to do things the right way, and you’re trying to justify your laziness by pretending it’s impossible or stupid to do things correctly. Carrying salt around is a silly idea, though, I’ll give you that. |
