[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As an elementary school teacher, I can tell you there's no winning on jackets.  If you let them leave them in the classroom and it's too cold outside, then it's a long time to be cold.  If you make them bring them, and let them take them off, then they get lost and the time suck is huge.  If you make them wear them they're overheated and uncomfortable.

A better solution in this in between weather is for parents to send a sweatshirt, or put them in a long sleeve shirt, or something else that's actually appropriate for the weather, rather than giving us the choice between a T-shirt and a winter coat. [/quote]
+1 and the PP didn't even mention overheated classrooms in winter.  As parents the best we can do is to send them with options and layers.  Think sleeveless vests, sweatshirts and light jackets.  [/quote]This doesn’t work either.  Our lost and found has exploded with these layers as the kids take off the layers just like a jacket and leave these items all over the playground, field, and outside benches.  [/quote]

Same at the school where I work.
