[quote=Anonymous]Our k-8 has daily recess for 6th-8th grade. They can access blacktop with basketball hoops and four square, a field, and an area with bars and monkey bars that is surprisingly well-used. They have a 15 minute morning recess and 30 minute lunch recess, plus PE 3x/week. If the weather is decent, most of the afternoon advisories end up outside, too. On the days when recess is condensed due to assemblies or special events, the kids act very differently and get pretty feral. On the other hand, we do lose some kids in 6th grade to 6-12 schools without recesses and some of them cite not having recess as one of the reasons they want to go to those schools. Often those are the kids who would rather be on the bench with a book, don’t do well in free-flowing social situations, or have health problems that make being outside pretty uncomfortable.[/quote]
