As an early 70's original ritalin kid I know how important recess is. We had 3 if you count the time before school.
It's pretty bad when this common sense has to be legislated. I just hope they don't try to interpret instructional time as being a class held out doors. I also hope they let the boys run wild as we did so they can expend as much energy as possible.
Anti-recess is anti-boy.

Favorite recess games:
- “kill the man with the ball”
- “smear the ____”
- tackle football with no pads
- dodgeball

Back in the 40s, we used to play mumbledepeg with our pocket knives during recess.

Charter schools pretty much get a free hand as long as the test scores are kept up. There is no limit to the number of folks who want to put their kids in them and the discipline is generally, and I stress generally, stricter.

To get the kids to exercise more they’ll need to ban cell phones and video games during recess.

By the time I was in school mumbledepeg was a word never heard. We did carry pocket knives though and it was not a big deal.

Really? They don’t have recess in some schools? When did this happen?
What “Early Childhood Development” guru decided that young boys full of boyhood energy don’t require an outlet for such?
Oh, that’s right. Boy are supposed to be good little girls in manner and behavior now days. That’s what you get when nearly every school at every level is almost entirely run by liberal women.
Girl behavior is normal, boy behavior is defective and must be driven from them, even if it takes dangerous psychotropic drugs to do it.

But don’t children who attend charter schools need recess just as much as other children?

I’ll be even more impressed if they bring back “Smear the Queer.”

You are right about the liberal women. And childless women. Worse of of all childless liberal women. They were a contributing factor to the demise of public education. I don't live far from NOLA and my kids always had recess. I think it's more of a city thing where the kids don't have recess. Lots of reasons why, some of them good reasons.
One problem with recess was when they emasculated it. The same can be said for schools in general.
Some of the best teachers both when I was a kid and when my kids where growing up were women with boys. They knew all about boys and how to handle them the right way.

nah. I hear the kids laughing and screaming from the 1-8? elementary/middle school 1/2 mi away. Most wonderful sound in the world, IMHO. What moron got rid of recess?

Recess was social time as well as good for burning off energy.
To: BBell
I was in school back in the good ole days beginning 1st grade in 1950. We had a morning recess and one in the afternoon. Plus, we had free minutes after lunch. Kids need that free time. No child should be made to sit for that many hours. I saw that in my great granddaughter the other day when I was sitting in the hospital lobby. She was free to move around but she needed more. My daughter had a brain aneurysm last Friday. The ER dr did not give us any hope but people are praying all over this country and she is hanging in there. Surgery was done a few days ago to remove the clot and the swelling and pressure has gone way down. We know this is a long road with ups and downs. Please pray for her, Lynn.
