[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do people really believe you can take away 7 hours every week and there will be no change in student learning? If this is the case, we have so much more to worry about. [/quote] Do you think they're learning in those 7 hours. So much busy work, not learning is going on in schools these days. Lots of wasted time. [/quote] The “busy work” in ES is just as valuable as the focused work because it is a time to practice what they are learning. Teachers are presenting material in multiple ways with different methods to help kids learn and master the material. [/quote] Cutting out morning meetings will save 2.5 hours a week. Removing Morning announcements, moment of silence, and the pledge would easily save 45 minutes or more a week. They could also make the health lessons (not FLE), but health virtual/asynchronous. I have other ideas, but time could easily be cut. [/quote]
