[quote=Anonymous]Also, please explain how "having PE more than 1x a week" would reduce the achievement gap?

MCPS will listen IF you have the answer.

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MCPS elementary schools have PE only one a week.  It sucks. And school lets out so late (DS gets off his school bus after 4:00) it is very hard to schedule after school sports activities.  I believe Middle School has PE 4 -5 times per week.[/quote]

Yes.  MS has PE every day.  But once a week for ES.  Seems backwards!  Tough I guess the MSers need to run around and blow off steam also.

Plus, indoor recess in ES is the pits.  Not enough staff so they combine two classes of kids into one crammed room with one recess aide.  Often the kids watch a video or play on Chromebooks.  Teachers, students and staff hate when it rains and they are stuck with indoor recess.  [/quote]

Note that middle schools have no recess time but PE every day except the quarter they have health class; while elementary schools have PE once a week but recess every day.

I'm the PP.  That's true.  I should have been more clear.

Sometimes our MS even lets the kids go out and run around in the parking lot after lunch if they can.  The kids definitely need some time for that.  AND, they try to get OUTSIDE most days for PE in MS.  Which I love!

We didn't have enough staff at our ES to take the kids outside for PE, and it's too chaotic.  Our ES combines two classrooms into one PE class.[/quote][/quote]
