LAUSD mouthpiece tried unsuccessfully to define "lockdown" earlier this morning on KTTV. The gist is, doors are not locked, people can move in and out of the buildings and the campus, but the kids were ordered to stay in class until "Nutrition Time," (her term), of 10 a.m.
[high-pitched mm-hmm!]
Nutrition time. How institutional.
Speechless. I shouldn't be, but I am.
Nutrition time.....
Would that be what those of us over 50 call recess??????
My niece's grade school calls it "Your Nourishment Period".
As in Nourish the body and the spirit.
The kiddies eat, learn "healthy and sustainable food choices" while learning "global values" with meals that celebrate global diversity.
When I was in fourth grade we just got salisbury steak and noodles..hehe.
Let me guess, if the kids make their first couple of classes they count for the student funding for the day. Anyone know how that works?
That's the most unusual way of saying "we need you in so you count for our federal funds and then you may go."
It's PC for "time to eat the tasteless gruel that the Food Nazis deem appropriate, not what the student finds delicious and enjoyable";)
Kids in our school could not leave our rooms, even to go to the bathroom. They locked the bathroom across from my room. It's nice that new teachers like me get to have our classes disrupted.
