Ah, DCUM, never change! Luv too weaponize mental illness. Yes, a parent is interested in continuing a helpful accommodation that was provided all of last school year! Must be mental illness!

This is OP.

Let's see if I can make it clearer than I already have.

Outdoor lunch makes [i]a[/i] difference in terms of COVID mitigation for everyone, but particularly for us and a number of other families.

I am under no illusions it's a panacea.

My child does mask otherwise.

It's very much a "nice-to-have," but I can accept it if it's truly not possible.

Weirdly, I am aware of the existence of Virtual Academy and of the option of pulling my kid out for lunch.

I am a sentient being and can think of more than one possible reason it can't be done-- e.g., not enough lunch monitors, parent volunteers not allowed, concerns about kids running off, etc. But thanks!

Principal is being unreasonable in that they (according to another parent) [i]specifically stated that they will not even give the reason for their refusal[/i] and will not discuss possible solutions.

Parents are willing to volunteer, and have stated that, including the one who relayed this story to me-- and me, a repeated PTA board member who has volunteered at the school many times.

I don't know if that can be allowed. I don't know much of anything until I speak to the principal, which I will, this week.

Thanks to the people who relayed that this is a school-by-school decision, and that some are doing it. That helps.

If I have any additional question for those who aren't invested in wishing COVID on my immunocompromised family, it's [b]whether parents are allowed to volunteer for this duty at your school[/b]. Thanks.

I am curious, though, if this is A+ trolling, is it because it's so subtle? Is it because I'm not asking for much, or really anything, except for information? Is it because I am being so reasonable about what I'm willing to accept? I'm not great at judging trolling. Would love to learn more about how to properly grade it. [/quote]
