6 day school schedule
DD's elementary school switched to a 6 day schedule this year and looking at things i do not like it. Some weeks she wont have art and others she only will have PE once. I am thinking about complaining.
Does anyone elses school have this type of schedule and do you like it?
Thanks

Re: 6 day school schedule
We have that type of schedule. They do it so they ensure fairness (a certain number of days of gym, art and music in a 6 day period even if there are holidays and days off).

Re: 6 day school schedule
Are you in NY? How do they get away with that being that it's mandated to have physical education at least 3 times per week in elementary school?

Many schools skirt the requirement by doing "warm up" type exercises in the classroom. K-2 is required to have some sort of physical education each day. In our K-2 school, when it was discovered they weren't compliant, they had the kids doing dancing type exercises during morning announcements and regular gym class was twice a week. Grades 3-5 is at least 3 times per week. We actually have gym 3 times a week at this level (5th grade).

That's interesting. DD is in 2nd now and has always had gym 3 days per week- but never ever single day.

6 day school schedule
Last year when my DD was in Kindergarten, she had PE once a week. Now this year in 1st grade she has it twice a week. I didn't know it was mandated to be 3 times per week.

I only know all of this because someone in our community group questioned it one year (and was slammed by just about every single person in our community!),so I looked it up. At one point they were having the kids run around the playground uniformly before recess started...to fulfill the requirement. I think a lot of people complained about that though

Oh for God's sake- they are not in the military or the police acadamy! LOL
I think 3 days of PE is more than enough.
It's more exercise than MY lazy ass gets
