[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Great - what school is that clearly not mine.

I did not say that was our schedule I was just saying there is room for breaks - which our public school does not have - kids can't play outside when it is cold or god forbid snow on the ground.

Lunch is 20 minutes - which is really like 10-15 once they are sitting - wolf the food down - to indoor recess 1/2 the time.

Wow - 2 hours of reading, writing and phonics - I hope they do some jumping jacks somewhere in there maybe at the hour mark. I was at a conference and even adults lose interest after sitting for 1 full hour.

And I was just explaining how your schedule doesn't work, anywhere.  To say "here's a schedule that includes breaks, see it's possible" and then post a schedule as developmentally innappropriate as that one opens you up for criticism.

No, they don't do jumping jacks, they have reading, go to recess, come back for writing, do the read aloud a few hours later when they're back from lunch recess, phonics is after P.E.. You can have 2 hours of reading and writing without having kids sitting for 2 hours straight.  [/quote]
