[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My neighbors have said that many parents volunteer during lunch and recess because it does feel like Lord of the Flies. Everyone seems to make the same reference, which makes me nervous!

For parents who have volunteered at lunch and recess in the last two years, do you feel like your kids safety or comfort is at risk during lunch and recess because of the chaos? Or did you feel fine with it? How many adults are on the playground at a time?

Thanks for any info!

Ok, my kids are BCC students now so our experience isn’t from the last two years, but I volunteered regularly at RH and it sounds like it’s mostly the same. Yes, I would describe it as Lord of the Flies. At the time I was a little uncomfortable about the number and vibe of the paras supervising recess. But some of my kids’ very best friends and social relationships formed at lunch and recess at Rosemary Hills and are still going strong to this day. I think that hands off free play environment where kids look out for each other was actually really good for them socially and developmentally now that I have the perspective from the other side.
