I know that the STATE sets these standards, but the fact that MISD doesn't even try to argue, is very disappointing. There are far more important things than two-digit numbers on a piece of paper. There's more to life than who wrote the declaration of independence, the proper way to write a haiku, or why the boy in the story was sad because his ice cream melted... give the kids more fresh air. More REAL experiences. Hell, go learn algebra with hands on learning in the parking lot. Read poetry in the trees...

They want our children to be healthy, yet they took out one of the most important health habits of all. Go figure

I think not having recess is very odd especially in this age group. They look forward to it. I used to work at a private school and recess was daily. It helped the kids to get that energy out to focus better and listen in the classroom. It also helped them exercise wise as well. Don’t they say in America we have obese kids?! Well taking away recess is one of those reasons. I think kids need to have recess.

I didn't believe this at first. It borders on malpractice. Give kids a break.

Kids need a break and not just sometimes, daily! They will behave better when they get a break and learn better afterwards.

Children need playtime to de-stress and relax during the day. They need physical activity to help build strength and also build relationships. Sitting in a classroom all day and not being able to socialize can have a negative impact on developing minds. Please reconsider recess!

Children should not be cooped up in a room for hours just to learn how to pass a test. They need to get exercise and be able to stretch there legs. They need to be kids. Education is important but all everyone is focused on theses days is a test. There is more to life than passing a test.

No recess for children is absolutely ridiculous. I work with children everyday and recess is a necessary part of their growth and education.

Give them poor babies some recess! All y’all are doing is making them HATE school instead of helping them. Just rude.
