Probably all 4 of my articles would be about the importance of daily recess/play and all the research about how needed it is. My 8 year old gets 15 minutes ( that includes the time it takes to walk in a straight line back and forth to the playground)....on Friday only. What is wrong with these people...didn't they take child development, they weren't children themselves, don't they know the minutes they lose to wiggly behavior and inattention will come back to them three fold?
In fact I think I will bring it up at the next SAC (school advisory meeting) meeting.
In my dream school, kids would have daily recess as an inalienable right.
