[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If they canceled only recess after 1 pm then some parent will complain their kid didn’t get recess while other kids did in the morning. If you leave it up to school by school discretion then some parent will complain that teacher or school X didn’t do the same thing as school Y.

All you complainers are the reason that APS has to come up with a single consistent response to NWS advisories, but then you’re also going to find reason to complain about that.

I have plenty of gripes about APS, but this thread is proof that some parents will complain about everything. I feel bad for the poor teachers who have to put up with annoying whiny parents. [/quote]
It's absolutely a case of "if you give an inch they take a mile" and parent attitudes are directly contributing to student misbehavior and issues with staff retention. [/quote]
Common sense is that cutting recess (for no actual reason) contributes more to bad student behavior.

There's no reason there should be a different standard for heat than for snow or severe storms.  If it's not hot yet, there shouldn't be any restrictions.  Cut outside activities for actual inclement weather, not for weather that's not expected to happen for hours yet.[/quote]
