[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ours is exactly like that and I have 3 kids in elementary. My one child is the most popular in his grade and even he cries at night about how brutal it is. Another kid stands in a corner because the girls are so mean to her and her friends are all in a different recess. Instead of having recess monitors just stand and look at their phones, I think it would do a lot if the recess monitors had large games going. I remember ours teaching us double dutch jump rope, 4 square (the one with the ball that you bounce in the squares that people stand in), and group games of tag. [/quote] I suggested my kid take a book to school to read during recess so she could get away from these dynamics but then she said if she reads during recess kids come up and harass her ("why are you reading? what's wrong with you?"). Seriously, wtf.[/quote]
