It's 12:30 in the afternoon. You are about to start teaching your 5th class of the day. You look out at a sea of flushed faces, chatting, anxious to finish the school day and head out to the 81 degree weather.
You, however, know that you can't succumb to their pleas to go outside for the hour. They would not do their work. They would bask in the sun and talk.
Are you cynical about taking kids outside? Yes. Why? Because the very first year you taught, you took a group outside and two boys got into a fist fight. Two non-trouble-makers. Surprised the fun right out of you. Ten years later, you still won't let kids go outside.
Here's to today's forecast of 51 degrees!!!

I'm with you! Kids don't get to go outside in my class either. They always whine, but 7th graders can't handle it. However, I don't have to worry about it for awhile since today was my last day for the year!!!!
