CAN THE PARENT SAY NO!!!! AND BANNED THE PRINCIPAL OR TEACHERS FROM GIVING DETENTION? CAN WE WRITE AN EMAIL TO THE PRINCIPAL?
KIDS ARE KIDS AND SHOULD NOT GET DETENETION

Recess is not a middle school thing. At least because of pandemic they are allowed outside during lunch. When we were there when it opened pre pandemic, lunch had to be inside — outside only if your PE did it that day.
