My 2 cents....when looking to make friends, don't immediately express all the issues you're currently dealing with in your personal life.

Totally understand. I guess my work has always been entwined in my personal… I met my ex husband at work and all of my best friends are people I worked with at some point

Good for you that you got something - many people who met the criteria either were denied or are/were in the pending approval status forever or never heard anything back after applying.

I do agree that $91 is a joke.

I know an organizer who successfully won recess rights for children in Westchester. She was an old professor of mine, I can try to connect you or explain how she did it (lots of annoying meetings with admin and connecting with other parents).

Taking away recess is cruel in my opinion. What school district?

Hey! I’m an old lady, so probably not gonna be able to help you in the socializing department (I’m a homebody myself) but can I ask… do you work? I found that during Covid and even after when I couldn’t find work (fucking ageism in restaurants is no joke) I got really depressed. No that I’m working again, and forced to be around people, my depression is gone. We are social animals, whether we feel that way or not. If you are not working, or working from home, would you consider getting a part-time job? You will totally make friends at work!

It sounds like the best course is to get this bill restart or start running for your local school board position .

I support your position, I don't think kids should be punished for recess, we are already having an obesity problem
