[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We received a message today asking us to send in boots or a change of shoes/socks tomorrow so that they could play on the playground. If they don’t bring boots, they will be able to play on the blacktop, which was cleared today. [/quote]

that's amazing, do you mind sharing what school? I'm about to complain - we're in a high SES school, I'll gladly provide extra boots for the 2% FARMS population in our school. It's really unacceptable that they haven't even shoveled the blacktop. [/quote]

I'm an FCPS teacher and an ES mom and I totally agree.  I'd happily donate my son's old boots, gloves, and hats to the school.  We don't have THAT many FARMS kids countywide, and all kids need to become functional adults who can learn to walk in snow, wear an extra pair of socks, etc.  This is basic life function.

I also think we should just let the kids play in the snow, but wait for the blacktop to be cleared.  Just...play.  It's snow.  It's fun.  Play.  Get wet, get muddy, slip a little, and cope.  Life 101.[/quote]
