Right now many schools have no recess. Most schools have no PE.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We must make sure that there is recess and P.E. class in every school, getting kids outside for 60 minutes, every day.
Play is under attack in our nation's schools - and shrinking recess periods are only part of the problem. Homework is increasing. Cities are building new schools without playgrounds. Safety concerns are prompting bans of tag, soccer, and even running on the schoolyard.
Recess and lunch are the best.
During the year, our schools are busy slashing P.E. and recess to make more time for math. During the summer, we get ourselves worked into a tizzy that our children will forget their fractions.
Every child should have time for arts, music, sports, drama, robotics, school newspapers and the like, not to mention recess and play.
I believe there ought to be school choice, so that parents can choose within the public school system.
And yet 50 percent of the kids who start high school in the United States today do not finish high school.
And there should not be a limit on the creation of new public schools. We ought to expand choices for parents.
In public schools, classes are bloated - it's ridiculous.
In the education of the American people, I am Recess.
