All kids should have the right to at least an hour of play / day or 4hours a week, Some people say it should be higher, 20% of their time in school. And this is above recess, not just in a fenced school yard, in environments that are rich with learning tools and opportunities.
I think 4 hours a week is far too little - especially when those four ours will be disjointed - and are seldom about breaks for play, rather than breaks from being taught.
