[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]School is many things now, but it is NOT old-fashioned. Kids do not sit at desks all day and write and then stand up and recite. American schools have been through more reform movements, many of them downright wacky, than probably any country in the world. 7-year-old boys are just really wiggly. Beware: 8-year-old boys can be really sarcastic and into gross humor. In the old days those kids would have been spanked or smacked with rulers. Now kids have wiggle seats and fidgets and movement breaks and special accommodations.[/quote] Even now with covid? When my kid was in K and 1, they had tape squares around their desks and the "movement breaks" were standing up and wiggling...at their desks. Now he says he sits at a table with other kids so it sounds less rigidly spaced, but their squares in PE are "bigger this year," which makes me unsure how back to previous normal it is. [/quote]
