Low test Scores

"In the spring of 2023, only 56 out of every 100 fourth-graders were doing math at the level they should be. In 2019, before the pandemic, it was 69 out of 100."

Doing 2019 the grades students got were much better then before 2020 pandemic.

This made the school grades drop. One way to improve this kind of problem is to take away recess. We can use this extra time to learn more.

In 2023, 65 out of 100 third-graders were reading at the level they should be. In 2019, it was 72 out of 100"

Many of students grades has dropped after 2019. This can mean that they are not doing work and paying attention. They can't learn as well and make their scores drop.

Poor kids suffer more

The problems are worse for kids from low-

income families, kids with disabilities, and kids who are learning English. These kids already had

problems in school before the pandemic, and now it's even worse."

Their report said that in 2023-24, the

difference between test scores before and after Covid got bigger by 36 percent in reading and

18 percent in math."

My thoughts

My thoughts on all of the no recess facts is that I think that it is not a good idea for schools. Mostly because I think that students should at least have a short recess from class for a while. Also No recess can have a impact of students like having good grades or bad.

Helps engage

"Children are generally engaged in open-ended play without any specific learning objective, allowing them the freedom to create, explore and discover without the barrier of predefined rules."

The children that have unstructured recess can have more time learning and exploring. This helps children play without rules that doesn't allow them to be them selfs.

Being creative is important because it helps kids' brains grow more than following rules does. In

free play, kids make up their own games and roles.

"Being creative is important because it helps kids' brains grow more than following rules does. In free play, kids make up their own games and roles."

Kids can be able to have a creative mind with unstructured recess. This can help kids be them selfs and have a good brain in school.

"Like physical education, [recess] will need to be planned and directed to ensure that all children are participating in moderately vigorous physical activity."

As AAA Pediatrics states

This is important to include because it shows that children have to participate so they can be active during structured recess. Adults can help children so they can work together and have teamwork.
