[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If DCPS can stop being stupid and get kids to eat outside then this school year might not be a disaster. [/quote]

They cannot. You clearly are not familiar with how schools operate. They might be able to do it on occasion for some classes but you cannot do it for all. Putting aside the obvious issue of rain, bitter cold, and snow, schools have rules regarding supervision of children. Teachers by law need breaks during the workday. You cannot simply have teachers watch their own class outside (or even inside their own classroom as some have proposed). And you cannot leave kids alone outside or even in their classroom.  You need far less supervisory adults when there is a closed room cafeteria with two exits that can be manned and everyone readily seen across the room.  You cannot do the same for open space outside, particularly if the kids are spread out. And there is not enough time in the say to do one or even two classes at a time outside, staggered. You would have to start lunch at 8:30 and end at 2:30 to make that work, and wel, obviously you can’t serve lunch at 8:30 and expect those kids to go until 3:30 and you can’t expect kids to wait until 3 to eat....[/quote]
