[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand this strange trend to demand more recess. They are in school to learn. There's plenty of time to run around after school. It's not a long day.[/quote] My child isn't in K yet, but I notice a clear difference in her behavior and her ability to concentrate on the days she's been outside running around, and those she hasn't. True, this is anecdotal, but the idea is backed by a lot of research. Like the other poster said, sound body, sound mind. Schools that have increased recess and time outdoors have even seen reductions in the number of children who need medication for ADHD etc. [/quote]
