Recess was my Favorite Subject

I am a fan of recess and free time, excellent article.

"A study of 11, 000 third-graders found that kids who have more recess behave
better and are likely to learn more. Researchers at Albert Einstein College
of Medicine concluded that a daily break of 15 minutes or more in the school
day could improve learning and social development. But, as the researchers
point out, less children have recess and time for play. WHYY's Behavioral
Health reporter Maiken Scott discussed the findings with therapist Dan
Gottlieb."

Good article. I was actually thinking about this the other day while watching Doubt (the movie). So this article came in handy. Thanks for posting this.
