[quote=Anonymous]former teacher-- Parents should also take into consideration that all schools are not the same. All schools do not have playgrounds that get lots of sun to melt snow. Snow scraped off a blacktop may lead to a sheet of ice. And, snow on a playground may damage the ground for Spring recess. Do any of you have kids that play sports? Ever had games cancelled because of wet fields? There is a reason. Some schools are very large and playing on the blacktop might mean a very large crowd. As a teacher, there are some "active" things that can be done indoors. Marching in place to music. Marching around the room. Exercises that require movement. Even games that keep the attention of the children. I strongly support outdoor recess. But, how about using a little common sense. Believe me, the teachers also want the kids outside and are weighing the benefits against the problems. [/quote]
