[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Was there any mention of using the additional 30 minutes for recess?[/quote] Yes, by parents who asked. I don't see 30 minutes of extra recess and lunch happening. Thinking realistically, maybe they'd add 10 minutes total to lunch/recess (so 5 to each). At our child's elementary school, where we have 6 lunch & recess periods, it seems like it would make the schedule slightly worse (my boy eats at 1:30). I don't know if it could be a school-by-school decision. Parents also asked if the 30 minutes could be set aside so kids could begin HW. We go to a neighborhood school and when the bus arrives here, it's about 4:00. Adding 30 minutes... and then factoring in kids in HGCs or the language immersion programs... that's an even later return home and begins to hit up against rush hour. I strongly support this change for HS and can live with the MS change. But have serious reservations about the ES change. There must be a better way. [/quote]
