[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FCPS always has to take things to the extreme. Once they cancelled outdoor today they will feel compelled to do it tomorrow and Friday too. [/quote] So canceling some recess is “taking it to the extreme?” Umm, no. If they sent kids home early and canceled school, THAT would be taking it to the extreme. FCPS did NOT write the National Weather Service guidance where it says that outdoor activities should be limited. Last time I checked, recess was an outdoor activity. From today’s Washington Post: [i]Code Red refers to the tier between 151 and 200, and it means the air is unhealthy for some members of the public. But everyone in these areas should reduce exposure to pollution, especially those at increased health risk, such as people with asthma. “Some members of the general public may experience health effects; members of sensitive groups may experience more serious health effects,” the Environmental Protection Agency says.[/i] [/quote]
