[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Again. The homeroom class should be mixed and that homeroom class should go to lunch and recess together. I don't see any reason why this can't happen. Make it a scheduling priority like so many other schools do.[/quote]
Not all schools employ home rooms.  Our base school only used them for sixth graders.  [/quote]

Exactly. I think this needs to be changed to ensure kids are mixed for lunch and recess. Most schools do use a homeroom class for this reason. There's no reason I see that the other schools can't.[/quote]

Most schools do not employ homerooms during elementary school.[/quote]

[b]My kids have attended three FCPS elementary schools, and all employed homerooms.  [/b]They switched classes for every subject, but homeroom was always fixed.[/quote]

The way that PP is wanting? I doibt it.

She wants a separate class that meets during the lunch hour where the kids are mixed together for the purpose of socialization.

She is not talking about the normal ten minute morning meeting type homeroom that every school has.[/quote]

Yes, I realize this.  And when I say my kids have always had homerooms, I'm not referring to a "ten minute morning meeting."  When the class lists come out every August, the kids are put into a homeroom.  If you're in Gen Ed, it's a Gen Ed homeroom, AAP is an AAP homeroom.  These are the kids' main classrooms, though they switch throughout the day for the core subjects (or remain, depending on which teacher is teaching which subject).  The point is, these homerooms are the actual classes that kids are assigned to, and they stay in for lunch or field trips or recess.  They are fixed and there is NO mixing.  Many of us are saying there's no reason a homeroom couldn't be mixed; kids switch anyway for core subjects, but they could be in mixed homerooms for all other purposes.  [/quote]
