[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t know why people can’t understand that PE is an actual class with curriculum. Kids are fatter and more out of shape than ever. The long term effect from obesity is much greater than the chances of a child getting seriously ill from Covid [/quote]

I wasn’t implying that gym isn’t a real class. Just that it has a curriculum that could happen more safely outside. Since recess is already active and outside, it stands to reason that gym could as well. [/quote]

I'm a PE teacher (not ACPS) and part of why I don't teach outside is because recess is out there all day long and my school only has a small field space. I'm competing with recess noise/distractions plus normal outside distractions (hello school on a flight path- ever try to teach K outside with an airplane going overhead every 10 minutes?!) But for real, I will take them outside when I can but its not reasonable or realistic to be outside all day/every day. [/quote]

Your school has recess all day long? Most schools only have recess between say 11 am and 1-2 pm. Your early and late PE classes could certainly be entirely held outside. [/quote]
