CDC Issues Guidelines On Recess

Students spend a lot of time on academics and standardized tests, especially in the early school years. Few states require recess.

But studies show recess leads to better test scores and classroom behavior. Now, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has issued new guidelines on the issue.

Take note Montgomery County Board of Education of statement that "recess should not be withheld as punishment."
