I listened with interest to this NPR news report featuring an Oakland school that re-prioritized recess. Click "listen now" to hear the story about what kids learn during recess and why it matters. Two statements that are probably as true here in Berwyn as in Oakland:
"Some (kids) don't know what to do with themselves at recess."
"During recess...students wandered aimlessly or thrashed about...they returned to the classroom "keyed up".
Sound familiar to you teachers out there?
