Recess is a disputed topic. When someone says the word "recess" a playground with elementary school kids running around comes to mind, right? Why do we only imagine elementary school kids? Most likely because the idea of recess for middle and high school kids has been disputed for years and years, but why don't the students have a vote in the topic?
It has been proven that whilst being at school for 8 hours, students need a break. Parents have reported that when their kids have recess, their kid has a better day and a positive attitude. Recess gives the kids a break to do whatever they feel they need and or want to do. Bills are trying to be passed that will guarantee kids have at least 15-20 minutes of recess. Another bill is being passed to prohibit teachers and or staff from retaining a child from recess due to behavior, grades, etc.
