[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've seen elementary kids (boys and girls) wearing shorts and no coat in snowy weather being dropped off by a parent for school. If they are so capable of making their own decisions about their bodies then why not let them stand out in the snow in the apparel of their choice and wait for the bus or walk to school?[/quote] I teach elementary school and have dismissal duty outside every afternoon. One of the 5th grade patrols came up to me and complained that she had to stand outside on post today since it was cold. She wasn't wearing a coat. I asked her where her coat was since that would make her warmer and she said she doesn't like wearing coats so she didn't bring one. I know for a fact she has one. She signed up to be a patrol, so I guess natural consequences will be at play here. Sometimes they have to figure it out for themselves. [/quote]
