You are missing the point. American parents are going to have to adjust their expectations. [b]Parents here are advocating a free wheeling outdoor school adventure.[/b] I’m telling you the level of handholding parents expect me to provide each day. I teach upper elementary, by the way. I have 8-10 year olds in my class. The two theories-that schools should coddle students and be on top of them at all times, and that they can be taught outside in uncontrolled conditions -can’t coexist. Either parents will have to accept that Johnny gets a few scratches, maybe a sunburn, maybe his glasses get smashed by another kid running around in the yard-or that could never work. If I got a call complaining about something like that, I would have some choice words for that parent. Kids here are just not that self sufficient. [/quote]

Who has advocated for that? I haven't seen anybody advocate for that. Advocating for holding classes outside, yes. Advocating for letting kids run around outside in uncontrolled conditions, no.[/quote]
