Decreasing Recess Again!

from The Long Road · host Ron Jones

I thought we were over this madness about decreasing recess in elementary schools--but apparently not. This episode digs into a recent school district in Kansas that decreased recess to focus more on STEM subjects "inside" the building. Why?! Source: "10-minute recess? It's a reality for students at one Sedgwick County school this year" by Lindsay Smith (The Wichita Eagle; August 14, 2025) Photo: Central Park Playground (1942) *Music by Matt Bradford
