McKinley second grader says it's been 15min indoor and 15min outdoor this week.

That’s crazy. You must miss a lot of outdoor recess.

That policy is much more strict than what FCPS goes by.

Did you take your kids out to run around? Are you taking them to the park before or after school?

Yup, I did. For 30 minutes after school. Directly after picking them up after work (part time) in professional clothes.

I’m anAPS teachersnd our ITC and principal have both directly told teachers no iPads during indoor recess. But from my experience as a parent with kids at another APS elementary my school (where I work) is far less dependent on the iPads than some others (including where my children attend).
