  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!)
One big disservice that we do to our children is to have them think that breaks are a waste of time. Your administration need to understand that giving kids recess is very important to their developmental process. I don't even subscribe to withholding recess as a means of punishment. The kids will learn better if their activities are distributed with breaks rather than concentrated. Not having breaks will in effect hamper learning.
