[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is why the Asian countries have all the engineers and scientists, recess is an extra, 20 minutes is fine. Learning is vital. Parents, how about you cutting your day to get home earlier so your kid can play or if already home, pick them up. 40 minutes on the bus is a waste of recess time at home or outside, and since this is your concern, you can make that change. Easy.[/quote] I completely disagree with your premise. It is not normal to expect small children to be still for 8 hours a day. Kids need physical exercise and their brains don't work or learn as well without it. Using the school bus routes are the most efficient use of resources--imagine the gas wasted if every parent did pick up and drop off in personal vehicles? [/quote]
