Eagle Mountain Elementary in Fort Worth has two 15 minute recess periods in the morning and two 15 minute recess periods in the afternoon. This experiment has been going on for 5 months now, and teachers are reporting that their children are less fidgety and more focused. Parents are reporting that their children have become more outgoing and independent. Do you think this system, of 4 recess blocks to break up the day, sounds like a good idea? Yes
