Children’s body’s are changing in middle school, plus they just came from 5 years of active playing outside and gym in elementary school. Most children in middle school are very active and a majority of the children don’t even have gym or do any sports or activities after school, the children barely see outside during school hours. For the children that don’t have gym they are very active and hyper during the school hours, making it hard for those children to learn. Recess will give these children a chance to think everything through that they have learned in the day so far, plus the chance too let all of there energy out and take a chill pill. Not staying very active during the week can lead to Health problems as we already know, but while it an also lead to depression and other mental issues to the brain. The ability of having a break to go outside and taking a rest for your brain can improve academic ability, even if it means just being able to run around and not having any playground equipment. Children will do anything to have there recess and if they had the chance to have recess us as parents and teachers can take that into are own hands. Children will start listening more and there grades might improve, for one if they didn’t listen teachers can take away recess time or if they grades are low in a certain class. Even if it means that schools will have to keep children longer at school or making class periods shorter to let them get out at the same time as before, children will love the chance to have recess again. For one parents will love it as well with our children being able to stay at school just a little longer that’s more time we can stay at work. Help children stay active and be happy again with recess in middle school as well and if we can get middle schools too have recess maybe high school is next! The only way we can make this work if Douglas county schools or the Georgia state senator says we can make recess happen in middle schools. If we win then children will be very happy, but if we loose then children will still have to live the same school day as usual.
