Flashback to 1974. School Recess, Bedford Hills, New York
When I was ten years old, recess was my favorite part of the school day. Looking back with the benefit of time, what I remember most is the absolute chaos that occurred. We sprinted out of the school building and continued to run, jump, fall, organize games of tag, kickball and anything else that allowed us to play. Of course there were also a few schoolyard fist fights that only add to my fond memories. The teachers had to demand that we return to the classrooms, often times the principal was called for added weight. Rarely, if ever, did I return from recess without breaking a sweat, skinning a knee or being out of breath.
Flashforward to 2009. Upper East Side of Manhattan.
I am jogging with a personal training client past the school yard of an elite private academy. It is recess time and the children are listlessly milling around, many of them standing in small groups looking into their iphones.
This scene says so much about where are children are heading.
