Let the Children Play: Schools Must Relearn Importance of Recess

[mopinko]

2. to me it shows that these people have no idea what kids are made of.

my oldest was in a "magnet" school. a selective enrollment school that she took the bus to. in order to get in their hours, while holding down the time that kids had to be get up in order to ride the bus, had 20 minutes of recess. everything about the school told me that they thought that bright kids were shrunken adults. this was the icing on the cake.

that and failing to understand the biology of sleep, and the circadian rhythms of teens, tells me that schools are run for adults not children.
