RSSTwo Edina, MN Elementary Schools Hire Recess Consultant … Phrases like, “Hey, you’re out!” are replaced with “good job” or “nice try.”
FROM THE YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME FILES …
Two Edina elementary schools have hired a recess consultant to police the politics of the playground. Of course they are going to do it in a PC manner. What has this country and more importantly our schools become? So this is the role of the recess consultant to make recess more inclusive and beneficial to children and more structured and if phrases like, “Hey, you’re out!” are replaced with “good job” or “nice try.” GOOD GRIEF!!! All these fools are doing is creating generations of kids who have no ability to cope or adapt to tough situations. Sheltering children is not the answer folks. Because its all about making everyone feel good. No wonder kids cannot deal with difficult situations anymore. Although I must admit, I was shocked that recess even exists anymore.
Two Edina elementary schools, worried about the politics of the playground, are taking an unusual step to police it: They have hired a recess consultant.
Some parents have welcomed the arrival of the firm Playworks, which says recess can be more inclusive and beneficial to children if it’s more structured and if phrases like, “Hey, you’re out!” are replaced with “good job” or “nice try.”
But some of the kids at Concord and Normandale Elementary say they are confused, or that the consultants are ruining their play time.
“The philosophy of Playworks does not fit Concord,” said Kathy Sandven, a parent of twin boys who attend the school. “It is a structured philosophy — an intervention philosophy — not allowing kids for free play.”
The two schools have joined a growing number of districts that have hired consultants to remake the playground experience into more structured and inclusive play time. The games and activities, like four square and jumping rope, are overseen by adults and designed to reduce disciplinary problems while ensuring that no children are left out.

there is actually a job …called recess consultant????????????? I don’t see anything wrong with your out…. for instance a 3rd strike in baseball…what is our world coming to????
This is nothing but straight out socialism where every activity is structured to produce a known outcome. Children need to learn to get along with one another all by themselves and do experimental learning in the process.
This is going to make some mad, but it is time to get the single women out of the schools and replace them with women and men who have children. The greatest learning for children comes from their own adventures of trying new things and establishing friendships without the intervention of adults. Parents with multiple children see this type behavior on a daily basis.
Sixty years ago this ridiculous thinking began to be introduced in the colleges teaching educators.
Parents will have to take their children’s education away from the control of school boards and government sponsored schools. If you take federal money for a school system, the feds will soon require control in exchange for the money.
This is exactly where we are today. Every little Johnny and Susie have to comply with the federal school requirements. It also is the primary reason for little Johnny being told he cannot be a boy, but must behave the same as the girls.
Through play, children learn the first lessons about not everyone is the same. Some can run faster than others and jump higher than others.
The socialists refuse to allow this to be the case.
The clause in the constitution that says “all men are created equal” does not mean what the socialists think it means or desire it to mean. It means all are given an equal opportunity.
Anyone with the ability to observe activities of people soon realize that little people cannot do what larger people can do in a lot of activities.
