Recess and gym are vital for a good education. Do not take it away.

I feel my son has suffered great harm throught his elementry school years from not being able to expel excess energy on the playground daily causing much difficulty to focus in the classroom. I feel mandatory recess daily, just like the good old days, should be required!

All children need this time to play, imagine, experiment, socialize and grow in ways that the classroom cannot provide!

Wouldn't people with a B.S. or B.A. in Education remember from Psychology class in college, that children require an outlet? Also, why would kids be treated any different than recommended practices for people with desk jobs? Every 15-30 minutes, stand up and walk around. Go for walks at lunch. Just seems to be a bit of a double-standard precedence being set...

Free play and exploration is how a child learns.

I would like my kids to experience recess like I did as a child. The fresh air, the playtime, and the friendships that develop are all important pieces of their elementary education.

I want my children to love school like I did. Recess was a big part of that growing up! They are so rushed for everything all the time in school. My daughter is only in VPK at OCPS and they already time them for breakfast and lunch to keep it "fast". It makes me so sad. I want them to have recess to have good fun activity oiutside every day!
