No Recess For Kids

Posted by cowboys

Where I live a school system or should I say a principal decided that grade school kids didn’t need recess because they did do well on state tests that were taken. Holding these kids from recess to me just defeats the purpose even more. These kids are between the ages of 6-10 and in my opinion it doesn’t really help them to keep them from the one thing they really enjoy at school.

Now I can understand the principal’s point to want to get better test scores, but the process and the way he did it was just wrong. Many parents are upset which they have a right to be. Luckily my kids don’t go to that school system. Getting better test scores start with better learning environment and encouraging students not taking things away from them.
