[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 484947, member: 11791"] Shortest answer: NO! In some schools, neither recess nor PE could be taken away from ANY kid - except by medical request (like, a kid recovering from a head injury...) They can restrict what the kid can do at recess - haven't seen this one, but on another thread, somebody was talking about a "walking recess" - can't go to the playground, have to walk with a teacher or aide - plus other walkers, some by choice and some not. I've seen play-ground equip off-limits for recess, for being out of control in class... kid is allowed to RUN, but not on swings and such. In one school I'm aware of, whenever the class got restless (read, more than 20% of kids...), the whole class went to the bootroom for a game of silent-ball for 5-10 mins. Another teacher allowed the kids to "wheelbarrel" down the halls - quietly - whole class doing it! (same reason). There are lots of other privs that can be created and then managed... those who behave, are allowed to use free-time in a special part of the room (one K had a piano there...), the rest have to stay at their desks... But to restrict the opportunity to burn off steam? There's a good chance that before the year is out, there may be a teacher with a lot less hair. [/QUOTE]
