[quote=Anonymous]The state requires 990 hrs of instruction --- which does not include recess and lunch. If the schools in Fcps are counting 20 min/day of walking to and from the bus as "instructional time" (let's say 80 min/week since some weeks only have four days)....are my kids missing at least 80 min of instructional time per week That the state says they are entitled to have? 80 min per week x 30 weeks means they are missing at least 40+ hours of instruction....which is at least a week and a half of school. Is this what is happening by counting the "walk to the bus" time as "instructional time"? If recess and lunch do not count as instructional time, then how does "walk to the bus/car" count as instructional time?[/quote]
