[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How much rough play at recess is happening in early elementary at your school?

Is it daily? Weekly?  
Is it the same kid always or does it vary?[/quote]

How would you know any of this? Kids are unreliable narrators. I assume teachers aren’t reporting this level of detail. How would you know what happens at recess and by whom?

I say this as a teachers aide who is at recess with 1st graders twice every day. I can’t imagine the kids could report recess activity accurately hours later. [/quote]

If you are at recess twice a day, what are you seeing?  [/quote]

I was a recess monitor recently helping teachers and I've gotta say kids aren't allowed to do ANYTHING. I follow the lead of teachers and admin, but these are some of the prohibitions:

-Only go down the slide. No climbing up.
-No kicking mulch or picking it up.
-Stay out of the mud.
-Balls only on the blacktop.
-No balls in the mud.
-No swinging on your stomach. You must sit in the swing on your bottom and hold the chains with both hands.
-No screaming.

I mean, what is the point of going to the playground and having recess? Might as well have the kids just sit around outside.
