[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s crazy that so many parents just accept that FCPS holds indoor recess day after day this winter. Kids need exercise and socialization that comes with physical activity, not more screen time at school. Are that many parents not paying attention to all the research the last 10 years?

Kids and schools in other parts of the country somehow manage to go outside. It’s only 30 minutes, kids can seriously deal with some wet socks for a few hours, plus maybe next time they can wear boots. Why do we accept FCPS making every decision based on the lowest common denominator?  Is the plan for indoor recess the entire month of January?

Schools here dont have capacity for kids to carry boots and change in and out of them. Sitting for hours in wet socks while trying to learn is unacceptable. I love fresh air and take my kids out as often as possible (yes even this week) but even I can understand that school cant be responsible for this.

Also indoor recess does not equal screens at our school. They play board games and stuff like that.[/quote]
