[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For ES I can see how schools would have everyone doing the same thing -- either indoor or outdoor. There's not enough staff to manage kids at different locations from the same classroom.  I'm not worried about my kids getting covid if eating indoors, so wouldn't be upset if the schools moved lunch back inside. However, I actually do like the kids eating lunch outdoors. Maybe a certain temperature threshold needs to be set, no precipitation, no wind over X miles per hour, etc. I'm all for my kids getting more sunshine and fresh air during the day, not concerning covid at all.[/quote]

APS already has weather parameters for outdoor recess.  I'm sure the same holds for eating outside during lunch period.[/quote]

Our school days above 32 degrees and fair - outdoor lunch
32-45 degrees and poor conditions - indoor lunch
Steady precipitation- indoor lunch

Are you parents taking your cold bag lunch outside to eat when it’s 37 degrees and sunny? Because I’m definitely not and I don’t think my first grader should have to either. [/quote]

We know very well these parents aren't going outside to eat.  The teachers aren't either.  I just took out the trash at 40 and froze.

This has reached the level of paranoid hysteria if you're worried about your vaccinated kids eating indoors for a virus that will be here forever. It's well time for you to seek out mental help quickly.  You're going to need to come to terms with the fact that COVID will be here forever.  And then you will see the absolute futility of making kids eat outside at 32 degrees, when most of them are going to eat indoors with their parents at restaurants anyway.
