Should High Schoolers Have Recess

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

  • Good topic choice Teagan! Work on having a better introductory paragraph. The big issue is that you didn't reply to any student comments which is worth 30 points.

  • I agree with adding recesses because i think a break from working for even just 30 minutes will help lots of peopls brains relaxed and ready for whatever classes they have next. mental health is a very serious issue with high schoolers so if this helps why don't we do it.

  • I do not believe that we should have recess in high school. I think we would waste time just to have a recess.  I feel like recess is more for kids to get out their energy where high schoolers need to use that energy usefully. Instead of having recess we could use that time to study and get homework done.

  • I believe that instead of having recess for high school students, we should have more freetime WIN times. As we could have extra time to complete homework, and talk to our friends. As we are almost adults, and I do not see a reason for a teenager and adults to have recess.

  • I do not believe that high school students need recess because we already have time to talk to friends and do what we want. I also believe that many students would use their phones, and not socialize or engage in physical activities. Although recess could be nice to have, it is not necessary.

  • I think high schoolers should have recess because during that time, we can talk to all of our friends, relieve stress, and can also improve our mood just by not being in class and being around friends. 

  • I don't think high school need recess becasue then we get our mind out of the learning mode, recess could also turn into fights at school went would be a mess with everyone getting in trouble. 

  • I do not think high schoolers need recess because I think it could possibly lead to fights and kids just leaving school. But if kids behaved it would definitely get rid of the stress and anxiety of classwork and constantly thinking in every class.  

  • I do not think that highschoolers NEED a time for a recess, however, I do agree that it could help us learn and be more relaxed. I would like to have some breaks in the day to just relax and get some work done. I am content with no recess, but I would take one if it were offered.

  • I think that high schoolers shouldn't need to have recess because we do have time to do what ever during study halls or lunch. Also, I think that we would probably just be on our phones or something during that time. And also, if we did have recess, we would probably have to extend school hours.
