In 2005, two elementaries in Falcon School District 49 adopted a

chasing games in favor of other activities that cut down on physical

Short of basically any physical-fitness benefits of recess, I don't
see how recess itself could be retained under this kind of formula.

Maybe they should just ban recess.
