Many students in middle school, high school, college, and even adults need recess. Here at Wellington Landings, we do not have recess at all unless you have physical education. 

Students need to stay active, regardless of their age, because there is no age limit to going outside. Students also need to have recess so that they can stay healthy and have a break from working for 6-7 hours. If students just stay inside, sitting down and working, they will gain weight and their mental health will be worse. 

Even adults should have a break from work. Once students reach adulthood, their metabolism will slow down, they will gain weight more easily, and they will struggle to lose weight as quickly. Adults might be paid, but that doesn’t mean that they shouldn’t exercise. Even if students, when they are younger, don’t gain weight as fast, they should still have some time to themselves and some time to exercise.

All in all, students and adults should make time for themselves to relax, exercise, and have fun.
