I was thinking it was just my school district being that stupid!!! Our new principal suddenly told the 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade teachers that their classes could not have recess because they went to P.E. every day. She claims that this has "always" been a district policy. First I ever heard of it and I have been around for a long time!
Seems that "some" upper level administrators decreed this, and while some schools adhere to it, others ignore it. Our teachers association is about to file a grievance about the no recess rule because, let's face it, IT'S STUPID!!!
By all means, let's tell 8 year old children that they aren't allowed to have fun anymore.
