Recess
Author: Anthony D. Pellegrini
Publisher: Psychology Press
ISBN: 131744146X
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 215
Book Description
Writing a book about recess could be a very questionable endeavor for a serious academic psychologist. At first blush it seems to be a pretty trivial topic. It's the time during the school day where there's a break from what's typically considered the most serious work of the day--reading, writing, and arithmetic. Reflecting this trivial tenor, it's also that time of the school day that kids--perhaps only half jokingly--say is their favorite part of school. This perception has lead many schools to question the role of recess in the school day. This book is an attempt to broach two views of recess--the perceived value of recess and the movement to eliminate or reduce the school recess period from the primary school day. Due to tightened school budgets and the emphasis on testing, many elementary schools eliminate recess, gym classes, and play periods to the developmental detriment of the very children the schools are supposed to serve. Author Anthony Pellegrini has conducted a number of careful studies regarding student attentiveness and performance within programs that have recess periods, and those that don't. The data show that students need recess in order to blow off energy and interact with each other in the unstructured recess environment in order to grow socially. The goal of Recess is to help readers realize the importance of recess and counter the trend to eliminate it from schools. This book appeals to academics, teachers, administrators, and parents.

Instant Recess
Author: Toni Yancey
Publisher: Univ of California Press
ISBN: 0520947215
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 278
Book Description
This lively, inspiring, and informative book zeroes in on the state of American fitness—persistently sedentary, plagued by obesity—and issues a clarion call to action that reaches across economic, racial, and educational lines. Toni Yancey finds that despite our best intentions and repeated resolutions to exercise, as well as a 40-year investment in fitness education and counseling, physical activity in all levels of society continues to plummet. In a warm, reader-friendly narrative that draws on solid scientific research, personal experience, and her own poetry, Yancey calls for a radically different approach: one that respects diversity and is grounded in the cultures of those most at risk. Instant Recess proposes regular ten-minute exercise breaks that utilize music and dance and are easily incorporated into school, work, and community life. Rather than encouraging unhealthful habits like cigarette breaks or high fat snacks, these "instant recesses" make the active choice the natural one. Here is a new paradigm for fitness and public health that promises vitality, well being, and a greater sense of community—demonstrating, as Yancey argues, that what’s good for the waistline is good for the bottom line.

Justice Takes a Recess
Author: Scott E. Graves
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 0739126628
Category : Judges
Languages : en
Pages : 128
Book Description
The Constitution allows the president to "fill up all Vacancies that may happen during the Recess of the Senate, by granting Commission which shall expire at the End of their next Session." This book addresses how presidents have used recess appointments over time and whether the independence of judicial recess appointees is compromised. The authors examine every judicial recess appointment from 1789 to 2005 and conclude that the recess appointment clause, as it pertains to the judiciary, is no longer necessary or desirable. They argue that these appointments can upset the separation of powers envisioned by the framers, shifting power from one branch of government to another. The strategic use of such appointments by strong presidents to shift judicial ideology, combined with the lack of independence exhibited by judicial recess appointments, results in recess power that threatens constitutional features of the judicial branch. Book jacket.
