Topic	NYC still forcing kids to eat school lunch outdoors despite dropping temps
Lebronwon 11/25/21 12:23:48 PM #1:	https://nypost.com/2021/11/24/nyc-kids-eating-school-lunch-outdoors-despite-dropping-temps/ Kids in some city schools are still eating lunch outdoors each day due to social distancing rules despite plunging temperatures and steamed parents. Its getting a little ridiculous at this point, said a mom at MS 104 in Manhattan, where kids again pulled apart their string cheese in 39-degree weather Wednesday. Theyve eaten outdoors every day this week. Its cold. A mom at a Park Slope elementary school said her child has also been dining al freezo for the entire year and began complaining about the conditions this week. Weve heard no plans to bring them inside anytime soon, she said. In fact, they are still asking for parents to give the school their Fresh Direct bags to create seating pads. It doesnt sound like theyre going in. The Department of Education allowed principals to devise their own lunch arrangements this year while complying with social distancing rules. While some have managed to keep kids under a roof while eating, others have headed for the great outdoors. Its already hard enough for a little kid to eat outside while sitting on concrete with a mask on, said the mother of a Brooklyn fourth-grader who ate outside this week. What does the weather have to be to go inside? How low does it have to go? Parents said their kids have only been allowed to eat indoors during heavy downpours this year. The DOE insisted Wednesday that individual kids retain the option to eat indoors if they choose. But parents said theyve yet to hear of any such accommodations. Weve never been told that, the Park Slope mom said. And no one else I know has either. --- Not 1, not 2, not 3, not 4, not 5, not 6, not 7 <cite>Lebronwon posted [p:960339681] in NYC still ...
