Even if this is a kid whose parent agrees that he should stay in from recess to focus on schoolwork, is this an unintended consequence? We can't use taking away recess as a punishment any longer? Who wants to take that first? Julia?

Julia KirtGUEST
I think when we do, I think there are challenges when we mandate very specific things on the schools.

Julia KirtGUEST
I think that we take away their discretion and the knowledge and experience of those educators to figure out what they need to have happen.

Julia KirtGUEST
We've had issues in the past of, you know, my kid's ADHD, autistic, and the dude does so much better if he got some recess, and so I think that's what they're trying to avoid okay, you misbehave, you sit in the classroom for recess.

Julia KirtGUEST
Well, that's very different from saying you can never do it, right? And so I think that's the challenge of when we do a one-size-fits-all mandate across the state.

But but Senator Kurt, doesn't it seem like we're so quick sometimes to legislate, pass a law and there's not a lot of thinking and then we have to go back a couple of years later and change it i mean that's happened with education a lot hasn't it

Julia KirtGUEST
Mostly conservative folks, but also the state chamber and others have disliked our judiciary, feel like they're not keeping up with how conservative our state is.
