You are an idiot.  PE = physical education, not recess.  I was talking about both things in the comment above.

My daughter had PE for 25 minutes A WEEK total and they never went outside.  It was 100% always inside in the gym, even on a beautiful 80 degree day.   At private, PE is 4x a week for 30min each, always outside unless below 30 degrees or raining.

Recess at public is outside for 25min once a day.  If it is below 35, raining or snowing, snow on the ground or even a little wet outside, the kids are plopped in front of a tv watching a show for recess.  That is 80% of the days from Nov-March.  Recess at private is 25min twice a day, once in the morning and once after lunch.  Only stay in for rain and below 30 degrees.  Teachers also have the option of teaching class outside.

Dear PP,

You're one of the reasons that people think some private school parents are elitist and not-very-bright a$$holes. Thanks for nothing, a$$hole.

I know public school kids who go outside for PE, not just for gym. The parents I know don't complain about TV instead of recess 80% of the time - do you think that's even remotely believable? And let's not get started on your use of CAPITAL LETTERS and your horrid understanding of percentages (80%? really?), all of which tend to make you look like somewhat hysterical.

If you can't understand how wrong it is to (a) generalize from your tiny little experience to a whole school system, and (b) to substitute hyperbole for facts, then you don't deserve a job let alone a bank account.

Signed, another private school parent[/quote]

Sorry, lady, plopping kids in front of a TV instead of allowing them to run around is terrible.[/quote]
