[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I'm a PE teacher (not ACPS) and part of why I don't teach outside is because recess is out there all day long and my school only has a small field space. I'm competing with recess noise/distractions plus normal outside distractions (hello school on a flight path- ever try to teach K outside with an airplane going overhead every 10 minutes?!) But for real, I will take them outside when I can but its not reasonable or realistic to be outside all day/every day.[/quote]

I am not doubting you personally.  But, my child goes to GWMS.  There is an outdoor track and a soccer field right behind the school.  Yet, my son has been indoors for every PE class so far, including, for many, sitting and doing health-related readings and answering questions on a computer.  He gets plenty of exercise elsewhere, but seriously?[/quote]

My kid goes to GWMS as well, I totally agree with you, why PE is not PE, but a sitting class? I also don't understand it why middle school students don't get outdoor recess/break? They are indoor almost 7 hours straight, which is super unhealthy. [/quote]
+1 I had 50 minutes of recess at my middle school when I was growing up. [/quote]
