Case: No Recess
My administration has made it very clear that they do not approve of recess except on Fridays. I teach a class of 25 rowdy 8 year old kids. I am a firm believer in the fact that they need a break. I have been stopping and doing a Just Dance break after lunch, but I always feel like I have to sneak around and hope to not get caught. Am I wrong for wanting my students to have a break?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
You are definitely not wrong. I also teach 8 and 9 year olds. I could not imagine not having recess. There is so much research based articles that state recess is a good thing. You should look up some of those articles and take it to your administration. Also, do your students' parents know. I have a feeling, if they knew their 8 year old children were not getting recess, they would not be happy. I know with the CCGPS things are very rigorous, but if a student and teacher doesn't get a break, they will get burnt out very fast. |

Comments: This is the best solution to the No recess case in my opinion because it offers advice for solving the issue. The advice to research studies that show children need to play and have recess during the school day is very realistic and a smart idea. If the teacher was to accumulate and present information to administration it is something that has the potential to work especially if numerous teachers also support regaining recess time. |

Comments: Yes recess is necessary for not only the students but the teacher as well. Students need that freedom to run and have fun and not just be crammed with school work the entire time especially at such a young age that is to much energy to be cooped up for one recess day a week. |
