Instead, schools pump the boys full of drugs and turn them into zombies in the name of fighting ADD-ADHD. The mostly all female staff is happy now there aren't boys disrupting classes and these zombies sit in class like the good girls they've been tranquillized to be like.
My girls went to a public elementary school - and they did have one recess. However, for their middle school years, we were able to send them to a small, private Christian school. There, they had two recesses - morning and afternoon - because the administration realized the wisdom for these kids to get out and run around a bit. :)
