[quote=Anonymous]I monitored recess one year at a large school, often 100 students out and 3 monitors. It’s fine to have your own kids do rough play at 2 or 3 or 4 kids, but allowing 100 students free range on rough play is a recipe for disaster. Different rules at school than at home. There’s no reason to allow the 35 minutes of play to devolve into tussling in the dirt and running full force at each other. Dealing with torn clothes, bloody noses, crying kids while trying to monitor a ton of kids and make sure all the kids going in a revolving door of bathroom and water breaks is exhausting. Those of you saying there should be rough play at recess can go volunteer to monitor and keep everyone safe every day. It’s HARD. [/quote]
