Alternatives to Denying Physical Activity as Punishment
ACTION FOR HEALTHY KIDS
Physical activity during the school day helps improve student learning, social emotional skills, and attention during class. However, recess and physical education are often taken away for punishment for students that didn't complete their homework or acted out in class. Often times, these are the students that need physical activity the most. Ensure students get the activity they need by keeping them at recess and in physical education. Implement healthy, alternative consequences!
