Should Middle Schools have Recess?

There have been many debates about whether or not middle schools should make recess part of the students day. There are many good reasons why it can go either way. For example, kids should have recess because research shows that students brains function better if they have a break during the day. Also, it makes them intake the information better. One reason, students should not have recess is because parents notice their children get injured a lot outside at recess. They like it better when their kids come home with no injuries.

I personally think that middle schools should make recess part of a student’s day. I believe this because recess is a time where you can see your friends that you don’t typically see throughout the day.  Also, it gives you the time to regroup yourself if you have been having a rough day. Another reason is, you should always be exercising everyday. For some people it is hard to do that so, this is time of the day when you can get that exercise. What do you think, should middle schools have recess or not?
