[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Option 2 is the obvious choice.  Survey results have to be tilted like 90-10.[/quote]

no freaking way do elementary parents want their kids starting at almost 10am. that is so late. little kids learn better early. they will be in school until almost 5[/quote]

This has been pointed out multiple times to Gatehouse. And yet they keep coming back to ask about this option. They clearly are leaning towards this option. I guess they don’t care about families or teachers at those schools. [/quote]

Well they should care. I currently teach at a late ES and by 3:45, all I can do is a read aloud cause my kids are done. No kid will be effectively learning till 4:35. When kids are not making adequate progress because they aren’t available for learning, maybe they will care. [/quote]

So now you’ll just do your read aloud and maybe a snack at 4:00 pm. Chill. [/quote]

Based off my kids schedule this year, this would be his schedule with a 30 minute pushback.

10:00-11:00 -Specials
11:00-11:20-Morning Meeting
11:20-12:40- Math
12:40-1:10- Intervention
1:10-1:40- Content
1:40-2:10- Recess
2:10-2:40-Lunch
2:40-4:35- Lang Arts

I don’t think any parent would want this schedule for their kids.

Why would you think they need to shift lunch back 30 minutes? They'll keep the same lunch slots. The specials or work time will be moved later. [/quote]

Schedules are planned based on certain teachers schedules. For example, everyone doesn’t have intervention block the same because ESL teachers are shared. You clearly have no idea about the inner workings of schedules at a school. [/quote]
