Less is More is Less

News from EdWeek: "Most of the nation’s elementary schools have added at least 75 minutes of instruction time in reading and mathematics each week—and often twice that amount—in the five years since the enactment of the No Child Left Behind Act, but many did so by skimming that time from the teaching of science, social studies, the arts, recess, and physical education."

That's according to an analysis released this week by nonpartisan researchers, The Center on Education Policy.

Or see the whole study for yourself.

Interesting stuff.
