[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They should just extend the time between two classes to 15 minutes every day and call it a break. The kids don’t actually need to go outside where there is nothing to do. This is ridiculous.[/quote]

That’s exactly what they already do now. The problem is, most of these posters don’t actually have kids in middle school. They have a 15 min break every day.  Look for yourself below. Every other day, they have a full block of mandatory study hall that’s basically a break. They can’t go outside for that but the parents worried about missing class for the bathroom should feel better.  They can go outside for lunch every day if they want to.  https://kilmerms.fcps.edu/about/bell-schedule[/quote]

Most middle schools do not have outside space for lunch. Kilmer is the exception. In the study hall, my child is not allowed to speak to other children. She has to sit quietly and either study or play on her phone. [/quote]

Robinson kids go outside for lunch and have a 15 minute break and also regularly go outside for PE.  THe study hall you usually get a ticket to go to a class you want to catch up work on --lots of kids go to an elective if they don't need extra help--this is a big social area for my kid too (I wish he would actually use the study hall to study)[/quote]
