Most middle schools and high schools don't have recess. They think we're "young adults" and they think we're too old to go play outside. Well, we need to go outside so we can get some exercise and hopefully decrease child obesity.

| I couldn't imagine older teenagers playing on a playground made for young children. Honestly, they would just sit or stand around in groups and talk. |

At my school, we only went out for recess 3 times that year. When we got out for recess, me and my friend sprinted to the playground and enjoyed ourselves, so did the other kids, it was fun. |

@jamocha
But we still need some fresh air and such.
@not
There's P.E. in elementary and there's still recess. We need to be active 60 minutes a day, not just 30. Some kids just don't have the time to get outside and do something.

We get no break at my school. Unless you're talking about lunch. Lunch is 25 minutes. Me and my friends eat lunch quickly and then go to the library to play on the computer for most of the period.

@IceKing
Periods at schools last 45-60 minutes on average
It's not up to the school to encourage fitness but rather the parents, there is nothing preventing you from going outside and playing. |

"Breathing fresh air is not exercise."
but isn't expanding and contracting the lungs technically exercise? at least for your lungs it is? |

At my high school, we're probably gonna get a big break. It's funny that I looked on my high school's website (I'm still in middle school) that the bus arrives at my house at 6:21 AM, but the school starts at 7:15 AM. The high school is 15 minutes away. Like 30 minutes of hanging outside the school.

@elite
Accept that I play sports and would like to be a bit more active during the school day. I am a football player since I've been on my school's football team and I will try out for track in the spring.
