  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 should not feel like you need to hide the fact that you are giving your students a brain break. Everyone needs them even adults. Being in class all day having to focus and study makes it hard to pay attention. Students need to release their energy. There has been plenty of research to prove this. I interned at a school that had 30 minutes of physical education and 30 minutes every day.
