Recess Is Alive, and (Mostly) Well

 

Recess Is Alive, and (Mostly) Well - "A few years ago parent groups were angered by news that recess was being eliminated at many schools. A new report shows that most elementary schools continue to offer recess, although children may get less time to play. With apologies to Mark Twain, reports of recess’s demise are premature. A recent report from the Center for Public Education (CPE) indicates that the majority of U.S. elementary school children - nine out of ten - have regularly-scheduled recess."
