[quote=Anonymous]When I grew up school got out at 3:15 and we were home from sports by 6 or earlier. I don't see what the big deal is. And not everybody does sports. I see a huge consensus on these boards that parents want more recess for kids. There is so much data out there about the importance of movement and physical activity for brain and academic development. I think parents should organize and push hard for this now, since this change will likely happen. This emphasis on STEM is ridiculous. All you have to do is look at how science and math are taught in MCPS and realize that more of the same is a joke. We have aged out of elementary and I have other fish to fry so I probably won't organize something like this but someone really should! We used to live somewhere where kids had one hour of recess daily (broken into two parts) from grades K-7 and kids were happy and healthy! MCPS has so much emphasis on *stillness.* So wrong for kids.[/quote]
