[quote=Anonymous]I have a first grader and have been terribly disappointed in the quality of MCPS. I strongly support the proposed changes. With respect to elementary school students, I believe that the extra time should be used to lengthen the lunch time. Kids do not have enough time to eat. Even my pediatrician has told me this about when she attends her children's MCPS lunch time. There could also be two shorter recesses.

It is FOOLISH to extend time for so-called learning. Children's brains need exercise and nourishment to learn. Far too many schools keep them inside ALL day and the slightest bit of tiny drizzles keeps them chained to a desk.

I'm not a physician, but these factors cannot be good for young minds.

I also support the later start times for high school students and commend Mandi Mader's activism to keep fighting for this. This county is full of smart people and NIH employees -- when will start listening to science about what adolescent brains need?

Go ahead, fire away, DCUM is full of nasty posters, but these are my beliefs about what I think could potentially elevate MCPS back to the high stature it once had.[/quote]
