[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did your kid want to eat with the other kid? Was he kept from recess and lunch with people he wanted to eat with? Why was the other kid inside? I'm trying to figure out why you're mad. Is it just the covid risk or something else?

According to our child the other child was restricted form eating outside because he was hitting, kicking, and punching other kids outside. My child likes this kid because he has known him for so long and feels comfortable with him and saw him sometimes during covid. But we don’t want our kid to fail to interact with others or make new friends because be keeps getting pulled into these one off’s with the child with issues. We also don’t want him to pick up those behaviors or be ostracized because of association with the problem kid. It’s a fine line. And we are trying to encourage friendships and interaction with other kids while not portraying the problematic kid as such to our child.

It also makes me mad that the school is picking and choosing when indoor activities are risky or not at their convenience. We have not eaten inside a restaurant since covid started because the risk isn’t worth it. We understand indoor lunch will happen when there’s inclement weather but to arbitrarily and discretionarily make that decision without my permission is not acceptable in my view. [b]And yes I am bitter after spending tons of time and money last year supporting and keep my lower ed child afloat while working full time when the schools failed to do so. [/quote][/b]
That's not anyone at your schools fault, so you need to find a way to compartmentalize. You can ask that your child not be used as an incentive but be sure that is what your child would like. After the last few years this familiar friend may be comforting for your child. [/quote]
