[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Schools are hard-pressed just teaching basic reading and math at grade level. There just isn't time for these specials without kids falling further behind.[/quote] They don’t even have time for daily science instruction. You get 45 minutes of either science or social studies, 4-5 days per week. Instrumental Music (band or orchestra for 4th and 5th graders) takes place during reading or writing or math or science, so children in instrumental music miss classroom instructional time and have to make up work they missed. Oddly, if a school has chorus for 5th graders, chorus doesn’t replace music. My 5th grader only had math 4 days a week, so chorus replaced math instruction. It’s bananas.[/quote]
