Except for a small handful of Waldorf schools, there seem to be precious few schools that will give my son significant outdoor time. In fact, I'm told that WA state won't even accredit fully outdoor schools (though I haven't checked this myself).
That really saddens me. From one perspective, nature is dying because nobody can be bothered to notice her (and thereby care about/for her) any more.

Schools are desperate to show the required improvement YoY in math and reading, so they cut time for things like music and recess to get more time for those subjects. I think my kids get half or less as much recess time as I did in the same grades. Sucks.
