The administration at Middle Township Middle School is all about using every minute of our 88-minute class time for academic learning. They do not want any downtime, or breaks from learning. However, Middle Township hosted a color run at the County Park, a great weekend community event. Academic teachers were given permission and covered with substitutes to take the academic day off to go set up the color run. Could it not be set up after school? If academic time is so precious, then why is it OK to take away academic time from students to set up a weekend community event?
