In some schools in the same area as this article, there is no recess at all. I remember two years ago my son wrote a letter to the paper about how children need to be able to play in order to think. He was 9 years old at the time and is homeschooled, but he was worried about other kids not being able to play.
No recess? Sick.
All work and no play makes little Johnny into a nice little Ritalin candidate.
