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

  • i think that highschool should have recess.  i think highschoolers would be more exited for school. recess would also give hichschoolers the chance to rest there brain and relaxe for a little bit and  lunch would be a lot more entertaning.

  • I do not think the high schoolers should get recess. Having recess would take time from our day from learning. Either the school days would have to last longer or people would not be able to pick as many electives because there would need to be a time of the day for recess to happen. If students wanted to engage in physical activity then they could join a sport or a PE class.

  • I don't think high schoolers should have recess. I think we should just have regular classes instead of taking time out of our day to go play. I think it is more of a elementary thing to have recess. Instead we should focus on our work and our classes.

  • I personally dont think high schoolers should have recess. Us highschoolers dont need time to run around play outside, we need time to focus on our classes and homework. We already get free time during the school days to talk to friends and eat by eachother at lunch I think having recess would distract us and not give us enough time for school work.

  • I don't think that high schooler should have recess. High schoolers don't need time to play, they need time to take their classes and do their work. Recess would just be a distraction. If people need to get their energy out, then they should just take a PE class. 

  •  think that we should get a 20-30 minute break where we could choose to play outside or do things inside. It would help people who are pent up all day and need to get their energy out as well as help people who need to get caught up on some work or need time to relax.

  • I don't think high schoolers need recess because we already have P.E. which is basically free time if you think about it. It would be a nice time to relax but we don't need it. The school schedule is fine how it is and you can use your study hall to get your work done.

  • I think high schoolers should have recess becuase they could work or catch up on school work. giving them a brain break from all the school, mentally it could be helpfull. being sociel and physical at school. getting extra time to release stress

  • In my opinion i dont think highschoolers need recess, because although it would give us a break from the learning enviroment some highschoolers dont know how to behave and would do bad thing, and we have the option of having stufy hall so if we want a little break i feel like study hall would be just perfect.

  • I do not think highschoolers should have recess because I feel like we don't need it. We already have free time outside of school, so why do we need more? I get that it's supposed to help mental health, but some people just don't care.
