Recess is important for behavioral issues as well as learning. Children, in Florida, mostly sit all day, pushing pencil and paper and learning by rote or memory, all to accomadate the FCAT! The FCAT should be outlawed or at the least revamped! True learning is hands'on' experience!

Children need recess. It is a sound practice to help promote their academic gains as well as their social, emotional, and overall behavioral development. As a school counselor, I am witnessing more and more children with school phobia, generalized anxiety, and behavioral decline. There seems to be a mania driven by the NCLB act that has negatively affected state and local boards and now has trickled (avalanched) down through our teachers and right on top of our kids.

Once after lunch and once either in the morning or afternoon for no less than 20 minutes and up to 30 or more minutes. It calms students down when it is time for class which leads to better behavioral and academic performance.
I think that every school should have a recess supervisor who helps the classroom teachers supervise, organize and support student play.

Have we learned so little about the education of children that these so-called educators know so little about children or the necessity of play for huiman development and the need to give children several breaks during the school day? Removing recess only shows how absolutely ignorant adults can be.

Naturally, he now dreads going to school. It took me, as an angry parent to demand better to remedy that.I hope that all parents are auch advocates for their children.
