I never did understand taking away recess for bad behavior for squirmy boys, especially. Our school took that a set further last year for the 1st graders. Not only did they miss recess, but during recess time they had to write "I will not talk during class" or whatever for the whole 30 minutes. If they got up or stopped writing, they had to do it all over again the next day. What a way to instill a love of writing in a bunch of 6 year old kids..
ETA: sorry, that was really negative and had nothing to do with the original topic
