My DS was the last out of school the other day, because his hands were so cold he couldn't get dressed. At lunchtime they were sent indoors as too cold to be out (with coats, hats, gloves etc). After lunch they had a visiting Rugby teacher, so could not cancel and they had to stay out in sleet/snow for 1 hour! He said some kids were crying & he felt sick. Some only had shorts on! When we got home I could wring his trousers and socks out, and top wasn't much better. He had been warned to bring a tracksuit but not all kids remembered. Some wore gym pumps on soggy field! Hardly any had spare socks and came out of school with bare feet in shoes.
Is this cruelty? Would you complain?
