“Playtime is Over”

In the passage, "Playtime is Over" written by David Elkind describes how schools are eliminating recess time for children and some other schools are hiring coaches to recess time, which is very disadvantageous for the growth of children as it is also the time when they can socialize according Helbertment a sociologist, play time is part of child's socialized process, and if this process is not completed the child may not socialize well in their growth.

The elimination of recess time for more classes also lead to the disappearance of what is known as culture of childhood, the elimination of recess time for more classes also lead to the disappearance of what is known as culture of childhood, including songs, rhymes, games, etc., passed through generations to generations.

It's very nice to see the, games, singing songs in school still exists that tradition for future generations and in my particular experience in which I had a brother at the age of 15 years and in which I experienced as my little brother chanted and playing games that I used to play and chant when I was a child at the school.

The recess time is the time very necessary for growing children as it proved necessary to have a break to relax and clarify the mind to pursue education is not very advisable to be guarded at the time, since at that time is where they can interact with other peers and socialize and be themselves and learn to behave in those moments of freedom.

In conclusion, the elimination of recess will not result in better performance on learning, neither having recess coaches, but yes hiring competitive teachers and also providing best resources and tools for students will achieved better academic outcomes for students.
