Recess Is Universal
I’m not saying that kids do or do not like school — many do and many don’t. But I can say that most kids do enjoy those few minutes everyday where nothing else matters … RECESS! Some schools give it in the morning, some in the afternoon, some right after lunch, and some multiple times a day. No matter what time, though, kids all around the world enjoy recess! Like many things, schools all around the world give their students recess on most days (unless the weather was lousy, or recess was taken away). Take it from me and my friends, and I am sure most of you will agree that recess was taken for granted. Once we got to a school where there was no recess, we missed it and wish we could have it back. If you can’t remember what your own recess was like, enjoy what recess looks like all around the world from James Mollison’s point of view.
