Have any of you had recess taken away to help your difficult child?

[QUOTE="confuzzled, post: 373654, member: 8831"] its very funny you ask this question---i'm considering something similar for my difficult child 2. i was thinking a "library/librarian helper" job too. but mine *does* desperately need the daily break so i'm on the fence about something that although she'd enjoy, might not be enough OF a break. it might somehow turn into "more work", if that makes sense. i do know her recess is completely unstructured and she pretty much just checks out of the whole thing these days...with the exception of the silly bandz craze, i dont really think she talked to anyone, and pretty much sat on a bench all year. when she was younger she was much more active and needed to running around....this year, she's too "old" for "baby games" :-D. she is in a 5-6 grade only school so its a tough situation for [I]many[/I] typical teen's...its clicky, its obnoxious, its, well...you know. i also dont want to socially isolate mine (not like she isnt anyway, but still...) i think i'd personally like to try it at maybe 2 days library/3 playground and see, if i could get [I]someone[/I] to observe both, which she does better with. i dont think it has to be all or nothing if you are unsure, but i do think its certainly worth a try.... and personally, i think its a very simple request that any school should be able to accomodate...budget issues or not.
