[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the school day needs to just be restructured. Elementary- no subject should be more than 45 mins in my opinion. Kids can’t focus for that long. Recess should be 45 mins to 1 hour. Currently kids start coming in at 9:05 and start leaving at 4:05. That is 7 hours at school. Sample Schedule Elementary 1 hour for specials 30 min lunch 45 min recess 45 min for Math 30 mins Writing 30 mins Reading 15 mins Word Study 30 mins SS 30 mins Science 30 mins- intervention and Enrichment. That would be 5.75 hours which is much better for kids. Secondary- Get rid of block scheduling except for certain classes such as Science that has labs. [/quote] I can tell you aren’t a teacher. 30 minutes isn’t enough time to do a meaningful lesson with elementary kids, especially kindergartners! [/quote]
