Foley: recess

Foley: "we suffered through math wars for several years; now we're living in recess wars"
"the data (on health) is frightening"
"we have got to make some changes now...I come from that perspective"
Part of the problem we're facing is the loss of physical education
"additional demands of time on learning"
"caught between principals and principles"
"if it's a guideline, it's less important..."
"recess is important...we've hearing from parents that recess is not being held..recess is important for child development"
"recess should not unnecessarily be withheld from children"
"have to have a good balance there"
"commonsense approach to the weather"
"I support the idea of site-based management"
"learn more about what happens in the schools...any ideas that you have to make it work better...talk about it with the site council..what's working, what won't work in the schools"
"Struck by the before school activity...maybe that can be blended into the school day"
