Cancer screening tests are an important part of health care, especially for women. Getting cancer screenings at the time they are recommended helps to find cancer-related changes before you develop any symptoms, or sometimes before you fully develop cancer. When cancers are found and treated early, survival rates are high, and getting routine screenings can save lives.

Across the United States, elementary and middle school students typically receive an average of 25 minutes of recess per day, which is barely enough time for a meaningful break from the demands of the classroom. For more than three decades, educational policy has been heavily influenced by a focus on standardized test performance. This has led to reductions in recess time under the assumption that increased instructional minutes would translate into higher scores. Unfortunately, this approach has often produced unintended consequences for student well-being and learning outcomes.
