The issue I am researching is about the reduction of playtime in
schools. It interests me because play is an important part
of a child’s development and if taken away it can impact negatively other
subjects like math and writing. To add, many parents have the false assumption that playtime is unnecessary after kindergarten, but forget that a child learns better, stays healthy, and develops many important skills just by playing. As school districts strive to close the gap in
student achievement, there is “no time for play.” But when looking closely,
low-income students are most likely to be in the gap and to get little to no
playtime. Staseis helped me
realize that part of the problem lies in defining playtime and how teachers can
help to minimize this issue.
