[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Having had kids both in public and private school during middle grade years, I can say that public school kids never get enough outside time with fresh air…even now with the pandemic, which was the perfect opportunity to rethink the entire flow of a school day. The only way to change this will be an organized effort and pressure from parents. It’s such a shame kids are cooped up all day in warehouses.[/quote] Is this still the case? What is the anathema to letting the kids get outside? Why not just have lunch outside even post-pandemic?[/quote] I think Arlington is doing better than say Alexandria, where the middle school kids are not permitted to eat outside. They claim it’s logistically too complicated due to the possibility of inclement weather and poor air quality outdoors. I kid you not! I just think generally the American school system doesn’t let students move around and get outside enough.[/quote]
