NEWS: AMERICAN ACADEMY OF PAEDIATRICS CAUTIONS AGAINST TURNING RECESS INTO ANOTHER TIME FOR STRUCTURED ACTIVITIES Full of well-crafted references this is from the AAP’s Policy Statement ‘The Crucial Role of Recess in School’ (2014). A pdf copy can be downloaded from the link in comments below. “Pediatric health care providers, parents, and school officials should be cognizant … that in designing a structured recess, they will sacrifice the notion of recess as an unstructured but supervised break that belongs to the child; that is, a time for the child to make a personal choice between sedentary, physical, creative, or social options.” Thanks to Cynthia Gentry for this one.
