[quote=Anonymous]"A typical day at my child's school involves 1-1.5 hours of math, 2.5 hours of language arts, 1 hour of social studies or science, 1/2 hour of lunch, 1/2 hour of playtime, and 1-1.5 hours of either music, art, PE, guidance, STEM enrichment activities, or library time." That 2.5 hours of language arts is necessary because of all of the different levels of competency in the class. There is a short lesson given to all students then the teacher meets with each group for 10-20 minutes, so you could condense that 2.5 hours into about 30 minutes of one-on-one time. The literacy "stations" and ipad apps are busy work to keep kids occupied so the teacher can meet with the groups. With math, if your kid understands the concept, they don't need the worksheet/ipad busy work that again is a way for the teacher to give extra time to students who need it. [/quote]
