Once you go to middle school you miss recess from elementary school, so I wonder why middle school doesn’t have recess. Why shouldn’t it? I know  the middle school schedule is longer and teachers need more time to teach us, but kids need time to hang out and not be surrounded by lunch ladies. I know lunch is the same thing kind of but we are more focused on eating than talking about everything.  Recess is good for teens because they need fresh air during the day and to just hang with their friends. According to the Internet  kids need oxygen everyday during the day even in school.

I know when most people think recess they think of play sets and swings but Dodd students just need board games and some fun games like seven-up and just sit on desks and just talk with there friends with only one teacher watching them. Recess is good for students to just relax and forget about all their important test or papers due so they can not get stressed out. Recess can also include  some music or computers for students to watch funny videos or just look at pictures. I think most Dodd students will agree that recess is good for them to just relax and have fun during school with no teacher yelling at them to do their work. That is why middle school students need recess.
