[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly they would need much better supervision and the teachers are already overworked and understaffed. Recess is essential, but if they don't decrease the amount of testing and stress during the day more recess will be worse not better. The kids go nuts. There have been so many injuries in my kids' classes from kids too wild playing football and soccer to the usual injuries that come with playing to kids doing daredevil feats before an adult sees. 2 kids this year have been taken away in ambulances. Simple games are falling apart perhaps due to pent up tension and stress without enough adults to intervene.[/quote]

Please. I'm sure there is no correlation between those injuries and testing. Kids used to get injured all the time. We just don't tolerate that at school anymore.[/quote]

This!  I taught during the Kung Fu craze.  Think about it.

Also, we didn't call the parents every time the kids scraped their knees.[/quote]

So what are the teachers doing during recess? They are chatting, of course, instead of paying attention to kids and trying to prevent injuries.[/quote]
