News and current affairs

August is the traditional month when parliaments recess for the summer.
I am not aware of any data supporting the idea that eliminating recess maximizes children's attention to classroom tasks.
Specifically, children are more attentive to classroom tasks after recess than before recess.
On randomly assigned days, the children went out to recess at 10 a.m. or at 10:30 a.m.
In three of the four experiments, we also controlled the tasks on which children worked before and after recess.
In all the experiments, the children were more attentive after the recess than before, and they were less attentive when the break came later.
Furthermore, in many cases, gender moderated the effects of recess. First, in reading assignments, the children were more attentive to same-gender, relative to other-gender, books.
Second, boys' attention was especially sensitive to recess timing: boys were more likely than girls to be inattentive when recess came later.
In one of our experiments, the recess period was held indoors rather than outdoors.
We chose this venue first, because the effects of indoor recess on children's attention would provide insight into the role of a relatively sedentary break period on subsequent attention.
Second, as a policy matter, educators sometimes use indoor recess as an alternative to outdoor breaks.
The results from this experiment replicated the findings from the outdoor recess results: the children were more attentive after recess than before.
August is the traditional month when parliaments recess for the summer. It offers a moment to examine why they are so enfeebled.
