School is out in JuneI just can't figure it. First they whine about obesity, then do what they can to foster it.
Florida says schools can hold recess inside classrooms
Ever lived in Florida? Recess outside in FL during the warmer months is often deadly. In the Spring and Fall, most elementary schools had recess early in the morning before it got too warm.
Ever sat in a classroom all day with a bunch of sweaty and stinky kids after recess? Not fun!
and in June the temps in FL average in the mid 70's to upper 80's
Hardly in the danger zone
so 88 is not upper 80'sSchool is out in JuneEver lived in Florida? Recess outside in FL during the warmer months is often deadly. In the Spring and Fall, most elementary schools had recess early in the morning before it got too warm.

School in Florida to end in May start in August (at least in my district).
You know, being a complete dick really becomes you!
Tampa FL has an average high of 88.9 degrees in June.
For those of you who are mentally challenged, that is 1/10th of a degree less than 90 degrees. That's hardly "an average mid 70s to upper 80s."

I lived in Florida for 13 years and just walked back in the door from a 5 day trip down there.
Don't be stupid! If you make yourself out to be an ass, I am going to make sure everyone knows it.
and FYI the state of FL is more than just Tampa
I guess you really have some reading comprehension problems
Man we used to have double session football practice in 90 degree weather so I don't think a 30 minute recess for some kids is going to kill them
Weather and temperature averages for Florida, USA
1) School tends to end in May in Florida and start in August (at least in my district and the districts in my area). So not only is the temperature in June irrelevant in the conversation, but August is actual hotter than June on top of that.
2) Most Floridians live in Central (Tampa/Orlando) and South Florida. Tampa is actually a pretty good place to look at to get a good idea of the state as a whole.
Honestly it takes a quick Google search to look this up. The truth is you're ignorant about the state (which is ok because I'm probably ignorant about yours), but the more you speak on the subject-the worse it's making you look.
I used the average temps as provided by the weather channel
and if you really live in FL then the heat shouldn't bother you as much tell me do you stay inside 24/7 in August?
I don't stay inside all August, but if I'm going to be outside doing anything physical or fer an extended period of time I make sure I'm properly hydrated and clothed.
I'm the golf coach at my school so I'm out in the August heat 4-5 days a week, and my players know that if they aren't properly protecting themselves from the heat by dressing appropriately and if they don't bring a water bottle-that they wont be allowed to practice.
If you think that 93 degrees in Central Florida is equal to 93 degrees in the Southwest-then I know you've never lived in Florida. I've lived in both areas (Arizona and Central Florida), and 95 degrees in Central FL is MUCH worse than 100 degrees in Arizona.
