Yes, it is a 7 period day. Not a block schedule. So, with PE being everyday, but a short class, do they actually shower? SEems like getting dressed and then back into reg. clothes would take up 15 min. of class. Stinky?


My DC has not showered for PE in four years.

That

That is school specific. My son had gym every other day. Gym unifom stayed at school. Somehow he conned the teacher into washing it.


Was this a block schedule? Otherwise, how did they get away with only doing PE every other day?

Depends on the MS. Ours had block scheduling with even days and odd days and one period was a study hall. So PE was every other day depending on which period it was assigned. Gym uniforms came home at the frequency each kid took them home--ideally every week but for some kids, most likely not.


OP said her child's school doesn't have a block schedule.

Seems to me that elementary school students should have PE every day instead. Once a week doesn't cut it for little kids.


We have twice a week, but I agree.

Yes, why does middle school have more PE than elementary? This makes no sense.

They also teach health and driver's Ed (in HS) during PE.

FCPS middle schools have two elective periods available each year. 9th and 10th grade are worse - my DS can't wait to be done with PE and foreign language after sophomore year.
