90. It is the whole focus on testing and academics

We have less and less time for recess. The pressure is on to get these kids to score well on those tests.

I just heard today that the schools in my district who had bad test scores last year are being made to test kindergarteners. Can you imagine? 5 and 6 year olds filling in bubbles on a standardized test!! You can bet those kids had less recess this year.
