Why should we not you have recess in middle school?

Some argue against recess in middle school based on the idea that older students need more focused time for academics. They might point to the increased rigor of middle school coursework and the pressure of high-stakes testing, suggesting that recess time detracts from valuable learning opportunities. Additionally, some believe that older students are better equipped to self-regulate and manage their own breaks, making scheduled recess less necessary. Concerns about supervision and the potential for disruptive behavior during recess are also sometimes raised.
