Students should be doing some kind of movement every 30 min. Recess at least 20 min a day!

How does any professional educator or administration believe limiting recess is best? It's a no-brainer that kids need outdoor time (more than 1 recess) and it contributes to an overall better classroom environment. I am confident there is very little research, if any, that would support fewer recess minutes as being best practice.

My grandkids talk about their recess all the time, is the time to see friends from previous years or play their favorite sport.

Daily recess is a necessity for young children. Children deserve more than minimum state standards to thrive.

Across the neighborhood in District 50 the children have recess every day and gym every day makes little sense to me why these kids can't either. Adults can take a break from work whenever they need one why would we ask young people to go through a day without one.

Please let children be children and let them play. Physical exercise is vital. Recess also provides them with social development. Children need more recess time, not less!

I don't feel like a structured gym class provides the same mental break for kids who have attention deficits, especially. It should not count in place of recess.

Kids need recess to keep them from being so antsy in class and to also socialize with other students. More children would focus better in classes if they had a way of getting out their energy twice a day. Less children would be diagnosed with adhd/add/odd etc...
I want Regular Recess for my children
