00:01When you ask a kid what their favorite class at school is, recess is a popular answer, but that could
00:07be going away.
00:09Some states have taken the issue to their legislatures, with 15 making recess mandatory.
00:15However, recess is a big part of life in other countries like Finland.
00:20Brad Johnson told HuffPost,
00:22Most schedules there have a 45-minute session and then a 15-minute break.
00:28With so many adults working from home and turning to standing desks or treadmill desks, movement while you work seems
00:36to be a good thing.
00:38Johnson went on,
00:39Research studies have shown that children who actively take part in recess have better self-esteem.
00:46Sounds like the break is mostly a good thing.
