We know students have mastered a subject when they can teach others, after all.
Ah, tommyrot, the unexploited educational potential of sex appeal. I'm totally not kidding, either. I probably learned the most from teachers I had crushes on.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
they do have PE. mac often runs races, places soccer, does something with hula hoops. He is lucky and has it twice a week. I say lucky because they rarely get recess.

They have PE at our school as well. It's on a rotation with Art and Music classes so it's either once or twice a week. They do exercises, dancing, numerous games, and some health education.

That makes sense somehow for city kids. I was wondering (what with the extra-curricular town programs they have now) whether they still do PE in school. Growing up, there was boys* little league in the summer, but that was it. No other team sports leagues.
It was quite a revelation to get to prep school and realize I was actually athletic.

In elementary school? I thought they pretty much all had a daily recess.

Wow, that's a shame. This seems like something kids really need!

Man I wish I had more to do at work today. I ran out of stuff and my boss is out of the office which makes it hard to get more stuff to do.

Yeesh, Corwood! I'm so sorry. I recall you posting and then deleting last night, and I got worried that maybe the shootings were closer to you than the first post implied. That's just, creepy and scary, and I'm sorry.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I found this My Turn column interesting about the question of spending/resources for special ed vs. gifted programs.
Corwood, what an awful nightmare to happen so close to your family. I hope the community can get through this and heal.
