The value of recess is huge. It’s unhealthy if you don’t go out for recess. Every 45 minutes the human body needs a 5 minute break from school. This is because after 45 minutes your brain gets tired. It’s not like the world’s going to end if you don’t take a break, it will just make it more challenging to pay attention.
From my point of view, recess is a time where you can be yourself, explore and make new friends. Everyone has to admit that going outside and playing with your friends is really fun. When you’re playing with your friends you are also getting a work out.
The reason I wrote this was because I wanted to explain how important recess is. Can you believe that some school districts are stopping recess? That means it will be harder to pay attention in school, less time to play with friends, not as much energy for exploring, no more being expressive and letting out all that energy. See how effective this would be. From this article I hope you understand the value of recess.

ReplyDeleteKyle,
ReplyDeleteI couldn't agree with you more about the importance of recess. I will point out that your juicy brain (what am I a zombie?) gets at least 2-3 minutes of break time between classes. No, it's not running around, but there is socializing and an escape from focused thinking there. Still, I'm on your side, dude. (What am I 12 now?) Humans in general require time between intense thinking activities to rejuvenate and one of the very best ways to do this is run outside, wave your arms, and scream. (What am I now, a maniac?) It's not all that different with your teachers either. We need time to unwind. Sadly, we're never offer recess time. Sniff....sniff...
Excellent article!
I agree with Mr.Lagana. Kids should get more then 2-3 minutes of non-classtime. Recess is also good because kids can get fresh air after being indoors for a long time. I think even in 9th grade kids should get recess. Everyone needs a break!
