Momfidence! cheers on commonsense parenting and sighs at the rest. How to worry less, wing it more. A.k.a. parenting by the seat of my mid-rise mom jeans.

How much time does your child spend outdoors at preschool? Find out. It should be (in my unscientific calculation) at least an hour a day. But kids are being kept inside according to a new study for the following ridiculous reasons, given by surveyed teachers. (My own comments in parens):
* Child is wearing flip flops instead of tennies. (And therefore what???) * Child doesn't have a coat. (So he'll be cold and remember it tomorrow. Or keep an extra coat on hand.) * Kids use the mulch as weaponry. (And therefore what?) * Much gets stuck in kids shoes (And therefore what?) * Takes too much time to bundle kids up. (What are they being paid for?) * Teachers feel they should spend time on "academic skills" instead. (This is PRE-school.) |
