[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, my 7 yo kid goes to an awesome FCPS, and she was in tears when I picked her up yesterday, because it was very hot and humid at Mount Vernon where they had their field trip, and not enough water fountain breaks were provided, according to her. I've also had teachers discourage water drinking in the past because it leads to frequent bathroom breaks and accidents. So it does happen. [/quote] I wonder if you go to the same school as my child. I was on a field trip to Mt. Vernon yesterday and it was pretty rough. A lot of walking, no water or food, a hot bus ride. All of the kids were saying they were hungry or thirsty or their stomachs hurt. One got sick and his mother took him home. The teacher did not plan to have any water breaks at all - the kids just happened to find a fountain. I said something about it, but the teacher got angry. Maybe if more parents spoke up this wouldn't happen - she does it this way every year. [/quote]
