I start to see a pattern amongst free speech in schools where they prohibit a lot of the negative context being sad. In America, people are allowed to speak what they want but when it comes to school rules I do see it change a lot. Kids get in trouble for making negative remarks which I find good because even if they can express themselves they need to learn respect.

Spread the loveOnce a cornerstone of elementary school, recess is now getting cut from schools more and more often to make way for extra time studying other subjects, such as math, reading, science, and history.

This article as a whole was rather brief, but regardless of its short length, it caught my attention. It speaks about the trend of recess being rid of schools, and it's potential negatives affects. It mentions not only how this could make children less creative but also brings up a much more agreeable point. The article makes the point of saying that children at such a young age need recess or some sort of break due to their attention spans and the possibility of instilling fear of falling into them. Overall I completely agree with this article, there's no need to get rid of something that very few things in today's modern world bring. I believe theres just something to be said about spending time with people and the environment, no phones, no connections. Perhaps we could change and adapt to not need such things at that age, but perhaps it could be something we might lose and never be able to get back.

this article particularly interested me as when i finish my university degree i wish to become a teacher that relies more on empathy to solve issues with students behavior and disciplinary problems rather than a teacher who punishes students every-time they do something wrong.
some interesting points were made by Walton and Okonofua “It is heartbreaking,” Walton said. “Teachers are caught between two models, a punitive model that says you have to punish kids to get them to behave and an older model that goes to the heart of the profession, which says that teaching is all about building strong relationships with children, especially when they struggle.” Okonofua added, “All kids need supportive, trusting relationships to help them grow and improve. Our intervention helped teachers reconnect with those values, who they really want to be as a teacher and how they want to relate to their students.”
