Wearing shorts in winter. What do you think?

It's mainly a question for parents. Most kids, on school days, spend most of their time in doors, I mean inside. And even outdoors, unless its below zero, the kids are going to to running around and not swaeting. You know by bias. But I want to know yours! Thanks!

Update:

[Updated on Jan. 24, 2020. Except 4 the spelling mistakes.]

Changed category to Family... couldn't see anything more related. Also, I'm using a Web browser on a cell phone. I know interfaces and options can very based on these parameters.

Thoughtful feedback from all. I suspect 1 reply a bit snarky, but I have a sense of humour.Lv7 had excellent answers, but I can only choose one "favorite". I know it's not a contest, but wanted to give kudos in more than just a thumbs up.

    Depends where you live. If you have a temperature of minus 30o and three feet of snow you might feel differently. In my family, once you were age five, you made your own mind up. No whining, though.

    It's a dysfunctional fashion trend.

    My nephew insists on wearing shorts.  We live in Ohio.  He wore shorts to his Grandmothers funeral.  Shorts and those Adidas Shower slides.  That's it for him.

    I’m not a kid...or a parent, but I personally could never wear shorts in winter. I want my legs to be warm, so I’ll wear pants.

    Depends on the temperature/environment. Wearing shorts in the winter here in NW Florida (where it was in the 70°s last week) is no big deal. Wearing shorts in snow country, doesn't make sense.

    My son was one that wouldn't wear the winter coat. Then one day, sophomoric year, while he was waiting for the bus. He suddenly ran inside, grabbed a coat, and said I'm sick of freezing. Wore one from then on. They figure it out at some point,
