Does your school provide enough unstructured time for students?

To many a teacher, parent, and kid's dismay, some say school recess is on the wane. Despite research that points to the many physical, social, and cognitive benefits of unstructured playtime, the pressure to meet state and federal standards is forcing many schools to cut corners, and recess is often the first thing to go. Is this a valid national concern, as grassroots coalitions such as Rescuing Recess suggest, or do most schools have enough free time? Data released by the National Center for Education Statistics (nces.ed.gov) indicates that in 2005, 83 to 88 percent of elementary schools had some form of recess five days a week. If there are cutbacks, are they making much of a difference in schools? We're interested in your opinion.
