[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am planning to enroll my son at a DCPS WOTP elementary school next year, when he will be in 3rd grade. At the open house the principal told me that kids of that age only have a 45 minute recess per day, at lunch time, plus PE during the week.

That seems on the low side for a young child, especially for boys who need some physical exertion here and there. Isn’t there a little break at snack time mid morning? How often is PE and for how long? Does this vary from school to school?

Thanks![/quote]

I’m not sure if this is a troll post? 3rd graders don’t have a mid morning snack. 3rd grade is upper elementary. If your child needs mid-morning snack time, he might be better off in a private school or home school.[/quote]

OP here and not a troll. Why are you so condescending? Jeez I also get a mid morning snack! And as as I mentioned above, we adults can take breaks while working, why not the kids? They are not cattle. Let’s treat them with dignity and respect.[/quote]

They get breaks, OP, I haven’t found that they are treated like cattle.[/quote]
