[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]More kids in the US have ADHD diagnosos in this country because it is covered by insurance and through IEPs. Other countries cover other learnir disabilities better. We know kids with dyslexia who have ADHD diagnosis so they can receive better support. There is no research that says outdoor activities will cure ADHD or autism.

Anyway, are you advocating for more outdoor learning in schools? Is that you controversial opinion?

Give it a rest with the learning and development and constant "enrichment" for gods sake.

Let the energetic kids outside for a decent amount of time each day and let them [b]play[/b] how they want to.  Notice the word play there - no teachers or psychologists involved.

My DS could and does spend hours outside when he can. No medications  :)

I teach in an elementary school. We have two 20 minute recess blocks. Both are unstructured.[/quote]

OH MY GOD A WHOLE 20 MINUTES

:roll: [/quote]

That’s a total of 40 minutes each day. Add that to lunch and specials and it’s 2 hours and 10 minutes out of the classroom. I think 40 minutes of free play is decent. That leaves 4.5 hours of core instruction. [/quote]
