County says recess for all elementary schools Starting next fall all elementary schools in the Orange County school district will likely provide recess‚ unlike this last year when children at 23 of the county’s schools did not enjoy this free-play break. The Orange County School Board is not mandating recess but it is recommending a minimum of 20 minutes per day on those days when children do not have physical education class.

aspect of life is the ability to work with other people. No matter how smart one is‚ if they cannot work with people it negates that characteristic. Throughout the years of being a Dulles varsity cheerleader‚ I have learned the fundamental aspect of teamwork. Working with people was something I have always struggled with‚ being the independent person I am. I have been so fortunate to work with different personalities from many different backgrounds.

Imagine being lost or don’t know where to go. You go each night and day in the cold and nasty weather on a ground called your bed.

Sleeping under bridges until you find a shelter to sleep in. Going

However‚ here at Powell Middle School we fitted 2o minutes of reading‚ before 6th hour‚ by taking a few minutes away from every class so each teacher has the same amount of time to teach their classes. “When children are

High school is stressful as it is and when we don’t get to sleep well at night it’s even more stressful. Then wake up early the next day it’s hard for someone to focus completely. Having hours of homework‚ doing chores‚ and just spending time with family after school can’t be done .When you have to go to bed early and wake up at six o’clock the next day. If students would be able to get at least one more hour of sleep it would decrease many health issues‚ attendances issues ‚accidents and maybe even

While just recently it was back to school season in America‚ which unfortunately meant that it was also a return to infuriating dress code enforcement in schools all across the US. It seems like the biggest concern for teachers is girls dressing against the dress code. It seems like no one really gives a second glance at boys who are sagging their pants (luckily no one really does that anymore) or wearing tanks that can expose most of their chest and shoulders. I understand dress code. I’m not entirely

When I go to school I enjoy our 6 class-a-day schedule. It keeps me motivated to stay awake because having 55 minute class periods allows me to count down the minutes ‘till I get out of the darn class. Imagine having 90 minute class periods. I would fall asleep and not learn anything. The whole point of school is to learn. Schools should not have block schedules because it becomes harder to focus for long droning lessons‚ absences cause significant damage to grades when students can not catch back
