Recess for our children is only 20 minutes per day. Recess in many research articles state: "recess as beneficial for children's cognitive, social, emotional, and physical functioning." Reducing recess is NOT a solution to larger educational issues. Our children either need to have a longer recess with 30 minutes minimum or have two 20 minute recesses. Reducing recess for children is genuinely counterproductive for learning. Reducing recess for any child can reduce their well-being and focus in school.
