[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The only reason kids need more exercise and recess is NOT the school's issue.  School has been the same amount of hours and there has always been one recess a day.  The problem is BEFORE and AFTER school.  Kids used to walk to school or at least walk pretty far for a bus stop.  Now we have parents who drive their kids to school and heck, even drive them to a bus stop.  After school?  Kids used to play for hours outside no matter what the weather. Now they are in structured activities or sitting in front of a screen.

So instead of parents whining about how little recess kids are getting, how about you keep up your end of the bargain at home.  I am sure you have plenty of days you take away recess before and after school.  [/quote]

This is just ridiculous. School hours have been the same at every school everywhere forever? Every school has always had one (and only one) recess a day? Even SHOUTING nonsense doesn't make it believable. [/quote]

Did you only go to school for 3 to 4 hours a day?  Yes, school hours have been the same for years.  The average in the US has not changed for over 80 years.  Average between 6 and 6.5hrs and that is based on all 3 levels of school.  It is currently 6.5 which is was in 1970.
