East Providence School District doing away with recess!

A Rhode Island school (yes, Rhode Island) district is
doing away with the time-honored tradition of recess.

Beginning in the fall, East Providence elementary school
students will not be given 10 minutes before or after lunch to
play. But school officials say the change might actually help them to
keep students more physically fit. Superintendent Mario Cirillo
says the schools are partnering with the YMCA to design a more
comprehensive physical education program that will keep students
active, even without recess.
