February 29, 2024 Dear Mr. Berger, Did you know that resting your brain helps you retain current info for school? What is the reason of learning when your brain already has fact, energy, and plenty of education. It is a critical part of a child education when it comes to learning but some experts think that recess can be beneficial because when students feel more engaged, safer, and focused about school. I think Alexander middle school should have recess most of the day because it builds up children’s excitement. In some articles like the 2017 on Scholastic Scope titled “Do You Need Recess” says when kids have recess it is difficult for kids to retain their learning, but they learn better and faster when they show effort and are distributing there learning. This means that they are focused and concentrated when doing their work and more focused on school. Recess increases focus when kids start off fresh when they are more entertained doing their schoolwork. This means that kids will be more focused on schoolwork and their work. I believe that AMS should have recess. It can create and develop social skills, and more focus and most of human light improves wellness. In conclusion, Alexander Middle School should have recess. Thank you for your time, Lauren Jolivette
