40 yrs of litigation for equitable school funding puts my claim
to supreme court even further behind. Studies show that school environment matters to student success. Withholding recess reduces student performance for the remains of the day. Many teachers and lunch monitors chip away at recess for academic and punitive reasons however causing a very paradoxal affect for all involved. 2ndly, having recess before lunch studies have shown nutrient intake increases and student focus for the remaining day increases directly impacting performance. Findings also include more instruction time within classroom post lunch ..problems from the playground are resolved or diffused by having lunch right after. To not deny recess and in replace utilize positive strategies for misbehaved students and to sequentally hold recess before lunch cost little to no extra money. Both strategies enhance student performance for the remains of the school day. USDA, CDC recommendations and evidence based practice isnt good enough, resistance to change and re scheduling instructions blocks I found were the barriers in my district. Logistics on handwashing and best entry way for wet boots are not barriers and easily worked out. Recess is an education in itself for emotional, social, physical and academic development...and should be treated as such. By denying these 2 environments students have not cognitively reset from a recess and are nutrient deprived impairing functionality and overall success in the remains of the day. Primary education are rapid growth and development years that can be stunted and negatively impacted by American Schools...ADHD and Childhood obesity have been correlated with the 2002 No Child Left Behind Act ...primarily due to withholding or elimination recess in favor a getting more 'academics'in... presently 8 out of 12 elementary schools in our district practice RBL...leaving the other 4, schools or 2000 students at a disadvantage. All students should have a right to an equal and fair education by not denying them recess and holding recess before lunch. I believe this is a legal issue....or perhaps school subsidies be significantly reduced by not optimizing the students learning environment. It would be hopeful that no funding get cut, but only way to get their attention? One school calculation by not having RBL based on waste studies threw away $2,200 worth of subsized food...for our 4 resistant schools projection of waste thrown out based on average subsidized meals served is $53,000 subsidy waste or school year Conclusion, to add to the monetary discrepancies of funding schools...there is more to the achievement gap and will take any advice to get the above best practices into law.
