Recess Should Never Be Taken Away

By: Sophia McGonagle

 

Imagine a school without recess. Homework not complete, it would be awful. Well, that’s my school, Joshua Eaton. Recess should never be taken away. Because exercise is critical, it affects our performance if it’s taken away, and we are losing our friendships.

      First, recess should never be taken away because exercise is critical. Our first lady, Michelle Obama, says we need to get 60 minutes of exercise every day. We get 30-45 minutes only on P.E. days. 30 on Wednesday because have recess on half days. 45 minutes on Tuesday because of a 15 minute recess period and 30 minutes of P.E.. Exercise is also critical because we need to get more fit. Micelle also says we have the fattest people in the whole world. Another reason why exercise is critical is because exercise keeps healthy.

      Next, recess should never be taken away because it affects our performance if it’s taken away. 2 boys in my class are always cracking up after recess. It’s because we hardly have any recess. They also never stop laughing and (well, I think) they never get any work done. Less recess also affects our performance because we get more hyper every second. We’ll start laughing at someone who was 1 number off of the answer to 296 divided by 5. maybe she forgot to say the remainder. That proves we are too hyper.

      Last, recess should never be taken away because we are losing our friendships. We have to wait until recess to talk to someone in Mrs. Lydecker’s class. It’s brudal not being able to talk to them. Another reason why we are losing our friendships is because there is hardly any time to talk to them. If agree, write an essay like mine. Maybe your principal or your teachers will give you more recess time.
