by Leslie Poplawski | 01/02/2013
I’m not going to sugarcoat this. Attention all you cyclists, tennis players, golfers, walkers, hikers, runners, rowers, gardeners! Or anyone who likes to go outside for any reason as a break in your day when you have the chance! Yeah, you: LISTEN UP! "Asheville Middle School students no longer get to go outside for a midday break," local mom Leslie Poplawski wrote for the the Nov. 21, 2012, issue of Xpress. "Some of them are up at the crack of dawn to catch a bus and don't get home till 4:30. Then they have homework and dinner, and for various reasons (including, sometimes, safety), many can’t or don’t go outside after that. ..."
