Huzza, Valkyrie!
Beyond that a younger child's attention span just isn't that long. They need breaks with fresh air and sunshine as I see it.
This borders on cruel and unusual punishment.
Speaking of that, let's lock Asst. Superintendent Clark up from 8 to 3 with 30 active First Graders.
Hasn't any of the local educational braintrust noted that the one school with formal recess (Whittier mentioned in the article) has the highest Math and Writing scores and second in reading?
Aren't those the skills we find so lacking in American education?
Unbelievable.
