| Parents, windows in classrooms/lunchrooms are open. Recess and (in some cases) lunch are outside. Larla may look cute in her designer sparkly dress but she is not comfortable! Listen to your teachers and principals please. Dress the kids appropriately! |

We’ll add layers. Sparkly dresses are fantastic. |

Not denying that, layers are a great choice! |

| What an odd complaint. How in the world does this affect you?? The kid gets cold they wear different clothes the next day. Natural consequences. |

| Affects the entire class when the teacher doesn’t feel the kids are probably dress to be outside for lunch. |

| If she's comfortable in her sparkly dress, so be it. Better than athletic clothing. |

| This isn’t about a style. It’s about coddling our elementary school children. The teacher should be sending them outside. Their parents have been warned already. |

Well wouldn't it be nice if the teachers sent out an email telling families that the windows are open and it's chilly in the room? How would someone know that? Anyway, my kid always has a sweater at the bottom of her backpack so she can grab it if she needs it. *My child's sparkly tutu dress cost $8 at Target, thankyouverymuch. |

Our school did. |

Are you a teacher? Was there a little girl in your class who was wearing a sparkly dress and did not have a winter coat? I don't understand. Anyway, if the kid is cold, she'll tell her mom when she gets home and mom will help her dress warmly the next day. My first grader dresses herself. I make sure it's weather appropriate and she has a coat every day. What else do you want parents to do??? |

It's literally 20 minutes and it's not like it's freezing outside. Unless the child doesn't have a coat, she can eat lunch outside. |

| That is one battle I don’t fight. I may make a suggestion and if my children choose to ignore it, they’ll know better next time! |

| Meh. As I would say to my son, "worry about yourself, not what someone else is doing." |

| Seriously? Parents can dress their kids as they want. I, for one, am fine if you take my kid in his ridiculous shorts outside because I already warned him that it would be cold and then let him make his choice. |

| You guys are missing the point. At some schools parents are being told kids didn’t go outside for lunch because kids weren’t dressed appropriately. I am all for sending shorts and glitter dress outside. But some schools aren’t. |
