[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PE only uses the gym. They never take the kids outside. It is 25min and ridiculous. It is about skills. They never play the fun games we did as kids.

I agree with most of this.

A few things are different at our school.

My DD does get a snack around 10:30.  Parents donate Goldfish or graham crackers usually.

Recess is only 20 minutes at our school (someone else said 30?).

Agree that you should volunteer at least once a month.  Even just one morning a month making copies for the teacher or whatever.  You'll get to meet the kids your child sees every day and understand the school day do much better.

[b]And agree that a sitter after school is a better option for K kids than aftercare.  Our aftercare is good, but it's a long day with too much structure for a five or six year old.  And there are definitely some kids that ate tough to handle.  The 'difficult' kids don't get kicked out because the parents are paying (and it's a business!).  Aftercare is a better option after K.[/quote][/b]

Disagree with this.  I think the awesome afterschool care programs are better suited for the younger kids, K-3.  For 4th and 5th, I think it it better to get the kids sitters since they have more homework and more diverse interests.  IMO, that is.  [/quote]
