[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is sad. So many factors cause this. Five year-olds are generally too young to sit in a classroom all day. How much recess time do these kids get? I am 41 and when I was growing up, public kindergarten was a half day. You got AM or PM along lots of free time and recess. School is too long for the children and for these hardworking teachers. [/quote] We've never had issues of significance OP is describing, but the issues we have had are all worse at recess. The staffing issues are so bad for recess monitors, and the ones they can get are mostly checked out. We've been playing a bit of a whack-a-mole with bullying this year for our second grader, and it's all been at recess. To its credit the school has been good at responding and we've been able to get them all under control, but we'd need to overhaul recess significantly to make more recess a solution, in my eyes.[/quote]
