[QUOTE="pigless, post: 18131, member: 228"] Hi, Andrea. Thanks for making me feel better about fighting for my pupil against the school rules. This is my first year teaching and the rules about coat/hat/glove wearing go something like if they came in with it, they MUST wear it at recess. I guess I'm the first person to challenge this all kids must be freezing idea. My challenging child runs so much at recess that he gets hot! Red cheeks, sweating, panting - hot. I allow him to unzip (winter) and remove the coat once we're inside. In spring, I will allow them to hang their coats on the fence if they get too hot. Yes, it takes an extra minute to make certain they grab their coats, but they can get overheated running around if they're too bundled up. Once a different teacher made him put his coat back on, and he was furious. I matter of factly told her that he is hot-natured and she hasn't interfered since. Good luck with your school. Some people can be unbelievably rigid when it comes to rules. [/QUOTE]
