high school is our chance to seize as many opportunities as possible so we can figure out what we want to do after graduation. that’s why many students enroll in electives and ap courses — we want to expand our horizons before entering the real world. a mandatory recess would take away precious time we could be spending exploring these topics. besides, we’ll have even more on our plates when we’re adults, so figuring out how to cope with heavy workloads now will only help us later on.

in addition, mandatory free time could lead to increased trouble on campus if teens get bored and feel the need to “shake things up.” and even if everyone is well behaved, i imagine plenty of teens would spend the period staring at their phones, rather than exercising or running around with friends.

instead of forcing all students to participate in recess, we’d be better off encouraging everyone to develop individual methods of coping with stress, like adding a study hall to our schedules or sitting with friends at lunch. that way, we can all relax — without taking away from anyone’s education. approximately 6.5 hours is the average length of an american school day. is there really room for recess?
