[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I expect my kids to have some outdoor time. Take them out for some fresh air if you can.[/quote]
Great. Take the outside after school. [/quote]
They get home at 4:30. By the time they get home, put their stuff away, and get a snack, it's getting dark, but thanks. The schools are REQUIRED to provide recess, PP, I'm not asking for a lot. I'm sorry for your children that you're such a wimp about this.[/quote]

Recess does not have to be outdoors. Indoor recess is still recess.

No one in my family is a wimp about this. My children and I go outside together before and after school in all weather except lightning or tornado warnings. Darkness does not prevent us from outdoor activities, and we even do creative outdoor activities in the snow, such as using glow sticks in snow sculptures.

The difference between me taking my children outdoors and the school doing so is that I can have my kids change clothes if they get wet or too cold and I can be sure my kids have on appropriate clothing for the winter. Teachers cannot do that, so they'd have to deal with kids being miserable for the remainder of the day if they get wet.[/quote]
