It's 37 degrees in NYC today and kids at public schools around the city are still eating lunch sitting on the ground outside. Grown-ups who enact these policies should try it!
After you are done eating on the ground, make sure to put your mask back on and not take it off again. This is what New York demands of kids. Our governor, who forced masks back on 2 year olds, galavants around maskless. At 63yo, she's far more at risk than a toddler.
I guess people were unaware NYC kids eat on the ground outside? Yes, it's true. They sit on concrete outdoors for lunch. For safety, you guys, for safety.
I wrote about this in September. One school offered a "skip lunch" option for bad weather as an option to parents. nypost.com/2021/09/12/no-… 
You know what's so depressing? All the responses to my tweet from people who *can't believe* kids would be forced to eat on the ground. It's not even a contentious thing in NYC. That's the worst part.
I asked my sons a few days ago if they sit on the ground. My 8yo said he does. My 5yo said "I sit with the kids who have allergies because they get a bench."
Anyway, if this is happening in your school district, tweet where and I'll retweet it so people know how widespread it is.
