The"movement break," as described by school officials, allows students to engage in physical activities like basketball during lunch - but students must attend classes and be on time to participateSchools across Massachusetts are battling a common issue: absenteeism. However, a high school principal in Medford has taken a unique approach to tackle the problem, incorporating more fun and games into the school day.
"I would ask, 'Did you come to school? Did you come to school on time? Did you attend all of your classes?' Another thing we struggle with is students being absent from class rather than absent from school," she explained. "I think it puts kids in the right state of mind after lunch, before lunch; it calms them down," Marino said.
