OP, is this your post?

I can't believe there's a school where there is zero recess, ever, for two entire elementary grades, week in and week out. Are you hearing this from your child? From the school itself? If the latter -- what reasoning is given? I would think this violates some policy somewhere if it's true, and frankly I question it. If you are getting this from your kid or from other parents (whose kids might not be reporting things accurately), ask the school. The kids may lose recess at times due to special events, assemblies, testing, discipline, weird snow week schedules, etc. but you make it sound like a fixed "no recess for fifth or sixth grades, period" policy and I find that unbelievable.

Our elementary AAP center (now in first year of MS) had recess every day except Mondays, and the Monday exception was due to the shorter day-- nothing to do with the fact it was an AAP center. Hope you don't think that the recess situation is somehow tied to "AAP kids don't need recess" because that is not how things work. They are still kids who need recess and all the teachers at our AAP center sure knew that. (And there's no recess in middle school so they need it while they can still get it.)

I think she means no recess ALL 5 days, not any of the 5 days?
