In the 70's we had multiple and longer recesses, which, btw, is where Finland got the idea. Today some students get less than 15 min or none. Students need recess, more recess, it should never be taken away as punishment and it there should be a law in every state! Only a few…

Every child!

So important! 🙌

We’ve wasted enough time and too many lives have been lost. Demand action. #GunReformNow

The Benefits of Recess in School ❤️🤜 #RecessMatters roomtodiscover.com/benefits-of-re…

We spend 50% more hours in school than Finland. They get 15 mins of recess every hour. They have NO standardized tests until the PISA in HS & they outperform us every time. When we can’t give students more recess, play, or Arts, but make them sit longer hours, we have it wrong!

Wow. In 4 minutes, former U.S. Marine Marksmanship Instructor and Arizona Sec. of State Adrian Fontes dismantles the right's Second Amendment lies. Watch this till the end.

The real learning loss from the pandemic was social and emotional skills. Such as learning to share, take turns, negotiate, & resolve conflicts through play as well as self-regulation & impulse control. Students need unstructured play, recess, & physical activity more than ever.

My heart breaks for Nashville & all communities who have dealt with tragedy. 💔 No words can be enough… but let’s not be silent about finding a way to make a peaceful world. Let’s also take action. Not just legislation, but through growing a culture of kindness, light&care. 💕✨

This is my message to anyone who has chosen the path of hate. Please listen.

Recess is not a Reward; it is a Right.

It’s staggering that it needs repeating: Hitler and his Nazi regime are the embodiment of evil.

Being a celebrity isn't a license to spew hatred.

Every leader must condemn despicable antisemitic rhetoric & always speak out against antisemitism, no matter whatever form it takes.

Kanye West’s adoration for Adolf Hitler, Nazis and Holocaust-denial has made one thing clear: all platforms must remove him now.

Today again, the world has learned again the hard lesson that dependence on fossil fuels provided by dictators and cartels threatens our security and prosperity. Going green is not just good for the planet but good for peace, democracy & economic stability.

This has to stop. Nobody should have to endure this, especially children. We need #GunReformNow . Please take the time to read this thread.

Just a reminder that there is overwhelming research showing homework does little to improve achievement and can actually have negative effects. Recess however has many positive effects such as improved self regulation of emotions, improved interpersonal skills and focus!

This is not a movie.

This is America.

If students aren’t getting enough physical education, movement, & recess, don’t blame them when they get restless, fidgety, & can’t focus in class. Children are active by nature & need to move. Exercise enhances focus, self regulation and brain performance.
