It makes some sense, the less time children are unsupervised, the less chance they'll do something stupid.Henry Catehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03097237237859928969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18436046.post-89535074916387788552008-05-19T23:57:00.000-07:002008-05-19T23:57:00.000-07:00When I was getting my MS ed, one of my instructors...When I was getting my MS ed, one of my instructors was a science teacher at a local high school. The school had had a serious fire the year before that had made one whole wing pretty much unusable. <BR/>There was a lot of shifting required to accomodate students. Some were sent to other schools. They also went to a block schedule with a day that ended at 1pm and no lunch break, just longer passing periods between classes. One of the odd effects was that fights and incidents requiring discipline dropped by more than half, just about the same ratio as the drop in the number of times that the kids were in the hallways without a lot of adult supervision and a real direction.<BR/>When I read about schools with lots of fights, I'm always reminded of this.Sebastianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04009107720601931341noreply@blogger.com
