[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Or, if not, what do you suggest that the OP's school do instead, to give the kids in OP's school an idea of what life is like for poor kids (urban as well as rural) in poor countries? [/quote] Going barefoot for a day is not going to teach these kids anything about their counterparts in a third world nation, its only going to be a distraction. Since this is a school and not a play area, they could pick a third world country, have kids do some research, compare and contrast their lifestyles. My daughter did the same thing in her Girl Scout troop and it was very meaningful for the kids.[/quote] I don't know about that. There was a lot of discussion amongst the kids this morning, and as soon as most of the parents were out of sight they all took their shoes off. So looks like many kids will participate with or without permission from their parents.[/quote]
