[@keturahmagee6413]

A terrible idea. A lot of studies show that. Plus the lack of exercise, breaks and sun light is unhealthy. I'm glad that it showed its hard on kids and teachers. Everyone needs breaks. Not to mention recess is also a time for teachers to run errands and go to the bathroom or get a drink of water. No recess makes that harder.

[@joshfish2]

I love this, it really shows how politicians tick -make a crisis, such as school tests are going down, overreact and compare to other countries as competition -do something over the top like cancel a small break for children in the day -things go well in the short term, but screw up on the long term. The obvious failures are kept under wraps -politicians backflip, but dress the backflip up as a 'new strategy' instead, make and create something exactly like what recess is, pronounce it differently and thus take the credit of something that was already in place -overall, get credit for doing literally nothing at the end, no one knows the difference, get voted back in anyway due to media craze

[@IwillKillYourCereal]

Middle School was even worse. In my middle school you only had 20 minutes for lunch and no other free period. In my High School, at least you can have periods with no classes and a 40 minute lunch. You were allowed to leave the school grounds if you were a Junior or a Senior. Now I'm in college, and you get so much freedom that it's unbelievable. You go to class because you actually want to XD and if not then you can skip (most classes don't count attendance).

T.J Detweiler: this prankster planet. Prankster rules!

[@edwrites]

Those tests are useless.. they do not benefit the children. They scope out possible Einsteins, but only make the students see how poorly they are performing or good they are performing under the state’s standard. When do they teach them actual math, physical health, etc? Physical education does not count... it is not even education just another recess. Students are smarter in many areas that those standardized tests cannot detect. If students need to do school work without understanding it at home then schools are not doing something right which is to have students memorize only and not understand the concept. Once you understand a concept it can be applied everywhere regardless of the data you use or you can evolve on that concept to touch on things not yet figured out- like actual successful mathematicians and scientists have done before the age of schools and where independent study was the only option

This is plot is ripped off later on for the movie Recess School's out don't believe listen to Benedict's plan in the movie in that flashback scene and this episode by the high ups at Washington DC - now the movie is clearly better for many reasons but I have to make it clear when a plot is re-done. I wish they had this plot replaced with something better than this

[@TheOwlGilga]

The reason is because in the movie they had to go over the top because Disney wanted it while the writiers didn't, so they just cheesed it together.

[@lucasgreen9821]

Well writters could have atleast not give us a repeat, like I said it is better but I think the writters could found others to avoid this.

[@sw8330GKEEPER]

I think this was a lay up to the movie. Benedict might have rigged it so Third Street School was selected and to prove his theory on no recess. But when he heard how much of a failure it was he must have went in denial and wanted to get rid of recess nation wide but that only got him fired. So he decided to freeze the planet only that would have lead the second ice age.
