no outdoor play? surely that is sending the wrong message to kids who(hipocrite time) spend too much time doing nothing as it is.

what about their vitamin D intake?
kids need to be able to let off steam after being cooped up for so long in a classroom.
however they could do it as a shorter school day but with less breaks.   i know i found it hard to settle again after break time so maybe they have a point.

as someone without kids it is hard for me to make up my mind as to the best way forward on this.    (helpful aren't i?)

take care all
