Withholding of recess time as punishment is specifically forbidden in our

better able to focus when they are in class (or are at least too tired to be
distracting to other children).

Is it actually forbidden, Leigh? I also live in Wake Co.
and I don't think we've ever had a teacher (and my oldest is
5th grade) who hasn't withheld recess. Some have kids stay
in for behavior, some for incomplete work. My 5th grader
was one of only a handful that got playtime one day last
week - most of the class had incomplete book reports and had
to work on them.

Did you make it through the storm okay?
