Our children should have a recess and free time! They should be plowed a break to clear their minds

Recess is also a part of learning.

Children need to let out their energy in order to focus better in the classroom. Children should have at least 60 minutes of physical education a day! Not allowing children to have the option of recess or not is the same as holding them back from getting the right amount of daily exercise they really need.

I live in Palm Beach County and am appalled at the lack of free play children are allowed . My daughter is in second grade. She has been outside for recess a total of 5 days this year. Granted they are provided fifteen minutes a day for "opa time" which my daughter has described playing games such as heads up 7-up and deskercise. P.E class is hardly any better, they only do basic sprinting and jumping jacks. Yesterdat she informed me that during P.E. they had a rock,paper,scissors competition. This is completely unacceptable. Our kids need more outdoor play, free play, and connection to nature.

I believe all children need the chance to be just that children they need Unstructured to play time for them to be able to focus you cannot put small children in a classroom for 6 hours and have no kind of recess or time to think and process its not fair it's not right I had it as a child and I feel my kids should have it too

I detest the phrase "brain breaks". This is subliminally telling our kids that using their brains is a chore. We should encourage learning growth through excitement and new experiences so children build a thirst for knowledge. Are we so restricted in our ability to relay the wonders of our world because our State and County Officials decide the scope of what our children read, learn, and are tested upon? Just look at all of Florida's Schools' Scoring on Science, a fundamental academic curriculum. 60th percentile. How are we to create leaders for our future when we are unable to provide the opportunity to a first class education?
