[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think one of the issues with providing choice is that a lot of schools are understaffed right now. Staff members are quarantining, or home caring for their own children who are quarantining/are in school districts that have gone virtual. There simply aren’t enough bodies to supervise students as is, let alone outside and indoors. [/quote] That's a valid point, but then on a below freezing day, kids should eat indoors.[/quote] Turned out that our older Janney kid had a choice about whether to eat inside or outside on Tuesday (the particularly cold day in question here), and chose to eat outside because that's what their friends were doing. Younger kids just ate inside, no choice. Older kid didn't report any difficulty or discomfort with outdoor lunch. I have no problem with letting kids choose to eat outside in cold but dry weather.[/quote] I'm the PP you are responding to (also a Janney parent), and the exact same thing was true for my kid - got a choice, at outside because of friends. My other kid did not get a choice - the whole class ate indoors.[/quote]
