Does recess need coaching?
By Sumathi Reddy, Wall Street Journal
Schools across the country are revamping recess.
Some have it two or three times a day in shorter increments. Others bring in recess coaches to facilitate games. Many now have activity zones—all to encourage more physical fitness.
The shift is a turnaround after many schools in the U.S. cut back or eliminated recess due to space constraints and demands for more class time.
