I believe we should have recess time for two reasons. First of all, I believe it will help with academics. Secondly, I believe it will help students' mental and brain growth.
High school is a crucial time for academic and personal growth. Providing recess in high schools to high schoolers can positively impact their development in various areas, such as academic achievement, and critical thinking skills.
Having recess during the school day can greatly benefit students’ mental well-being. It provides a much-needed break from academic tasks, allowing students to recharge and refresh their minds. Engaging in physical activity and socializing with peers during recess can reduce stress, improve mood, and enhance cognitive function. By incorporating regular recess into school schedules, we can support students’ mental health and create a positive learning environment.
In conclusion, incorporating recess into the school day not only supports students’ mental health but also promotes academic brain growth. By providing a break from academic tasks. Recess additionally helps with engaging in physical activities and socializing. Let's continue to prioritize recess as an essential component of student development for both academic and mental health benefits

I don't think that high schoolers should have recess because they get a lot of free time. Highs choolers also get their phones which do distract a lot of high schoolers. Many high schoolers also don't have a lot of energy so I don't think it would help a lot with mental health benefits.
I personally do not think that high schoolers should have recess. We get enough free time in school to get away from schoolwork. Us high schoolers do not have as much energy as the elementary students.
