[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Eating outside in appropriate weather is absolutely a great practice for schools during Covid times as well as if we ever reach non-Covid times! Eating outside on a slab of partially iced over concrete in 22 degree temps with a windchill making it 11 degrees is not such a great idea, nor is it the norm in other countries. Playing in that weather bundled up with gloves and facial covering is very, very different from sitting down on the ground and eating a meal in it.

Very true. I agree. Lunch outside when it is below 40 is child abuse. Would the parents tolerate it? No, I didn't think so.[/quote]

I'd set the temperature cutoff a little bit lower, but I think this is true when we are talking about sitting on icy concrete. It's a whole different story with picnic tables like at our school. And then kids should be given a choice when the weather is really cold. My kid chose to eat outside even on that coldest day last week, and not because he is afraid of Covid.[/quote]
