Why does my children’s school torture the kids?

Here is the school planning for this week:

“This week the children will continue to work with the summer season. Last week they looked at a day at the beach.
On Monday we will be having “a picnic” in the park!(in the classroom).
We will look at a picture where a family is having a picnic (work with vocabulary and word-picture-association).”

Temperature outside –  -1c.  It’s just cruel.
