  Case: Kids or Products?
With a vast variety of researched based information to state the contrary , schools have decided to limit the recess for elementary students to 15 minutes in the district. Students and teachers continue to deal with behavior issues in the class which can greatly impact classroom instruction. I believe part of this problem lies in the lack of free time allotted for the students. They are after all children. Recess promotes team work, verbal communication, sportsmanship, exercise, and creative expression through the arts. Unfortunately, the present approach is to run students through the process of learning as if this will produce an atypical product. When children are authentic and need the time to decompress from instruction as well as converse with their peer group with limited adult influence. At least allow the students to have a full thirty minute recess. They are children not bottles of Cola.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I completely agree that recess time is very important. I have had a cooperating teacher over me in an internship that allowed the students zero recess and often made them work through lunch. This is an awful way to conduct a classroom, as it allows students no down time to recharge from constant learning. It also prevents them from making important emotional and developmental connections with their peers.

Comments: I agree. How cruel to take away such an important time in a child's day. While instruction is important, recess can help extend social skills outide the classroom and help them to develop lesure interest they may not have otherwise.
