      I tried to leave a comment on letgrow but discus told me I had an account and then wouldn’t let me sign in. anyway this is the stupidest thing I have heard in a long time. they say it’s to supplement recess but just wait it will become the only recess these kids get. all I could think of was the picture od Japanese workers lining up to do exercises on work breaks. kids did not evolve to sit at a desk 6 to 8 hours a day, they were made to run play and explore.
