It's sad that they either don't care or just don't want to be bothered to come up with a solution. Kids break time is meeting with their advisors or going to lockers for 2 minutes between classes.
No wonder so many kids are getting fat. No movement then 2 hours of homework after school.

Guessing 97% of my class stayed intact from first grade to eighth grade at BS. Granted, this was long ago but I think these are the current times. It’s just different.

I am guessing that you went to school there at least 20 years ago??? Things are probably different.......

Super untrue. A friend of mine was in the advanced classes and chose to move down due to extracurriculars and the amount of homework in those classes. You can also move up if your teacher sees you're too advanced for the class.

They actually changed it last year so that kids have recess every day.
