Research shows recess is more than fun – it’s an essential part of learning

Children spend hours in school sitting at their desks, learning lessons, taking tests. 

There's often not much time for everyone's favorite part of the day: recess.

State Impact Ohio's Mark Urycki reports on the resurgence in recess.

Gabriel Kramer is a reporter/producer and the host of “NewsDepth,” Ideastream Public Media's news show for kids.
