[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We were at the franklin, WI district before and all they did was tweak the English and math class and WI chose the ACT common core test (not Parcc). Kid still had gym 3x a week, art 2x and and hour each of five subjects (math, reading, science, SS, English/word work). MCPS jacked up at her math and reading class hours and cut others.[/quote]

PE and art were once a week each at MCPS before Maryland's Common Core standards/PARCC testing and MCPS's Curriculum 2.0, too.[/quote]

I’d be curious when the 90 minute blocks of math, reading, and English began.  That is a long time even if moving stations.[/quote]

When did this start? When did it go from 50 minutes to 90 minutes each? That really adds up. Was it for Common Core or way back to bolster No Child Left Behind. Polar opposite of most K-5s where kids need to move and change it up every hour. Many schools utilize the "walk to science or music or art" to get gets refocusing and ready for next subject.
