[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have done recess duty at an elementary school. Several boys never wanted to take their coats, even when it was below freezing. They would wear it to line up, then throw it on the ground outside while they played for 25 minutes in short sleeves. I can’t physically force children to put on and wear their coats. There wasn’t enough staff to send non coat wearing kids indoors for recess. I did notice a correlation between hyperactive and impulsive boys (yes all boys) and coat refusal. Perhaps they run hotter?[/quote] It’s trying to be cool. They don’t run hotter. It depends on the temperature. If it’s above freezing or 40 degrees they can definitely get hot but not because they are male. Starting in about 4th grade where they’d rather look cool and suffer. [/quote]
