They really are wimps at my daughter's school

Indoor recess today. Because it's 29 degrees Fahrenheit and hardly any wind. How is she going to build her strength for winter?

I had to help a first-grader loosen his belt today. It just wasn't easy to put on or take off. I told him to tell his dad not to put that belt on again due to the difficulty. After all, children are expected to handle going to the bathroom by themselves at that age.

I keep looking at the puzzle near me. I want to finish it.

Our school said their outdoor recess would be governed by this chart:

"Child Care Weather Watch"

The rule here is any wet, temp below 32 or temp plus wind chill below 32 means indoor recess.

Basically anything on the yellow zone on the cold side, they don't go out. Some of the kids don't have proper winter clothes, and there aren't enough playground monitors to make the children keep their gloves and hats on.
