What kind of school recess, supervised unstructured play, do your students get at school? Recess breaks should be several times a day. How's your State doing?

It all began with the Powell Memo.

Still trying to understand the push in SoR to provide interventions & services that special education *should* provide onto the gen ed. Dyslexia is a disability. Why r ppl saying this real need shouldn't be addressed through legally-protected & (theoretically) funded special ed?
