What Parents Need to Know
About Recess: School's Out!
Parents need to know that the jokes in this movie are pretty vulgar for a G rating. T.J. uses the school public address system to make an announcement, pretending to be the principal, and talking about how he scratches his "big, saggy butt" once an hour. T.J.'s parents say they are going to take his temperature with a baby thermometer and some Vaseline (eliciting a few uncomfortable squeals from the audience). T.J. reads aloud from his sister's diary, including dramatic descriptions of teenage romance.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about this movie's message that kids should not worry about test scores or the future but should make time to "just be kids." What is important to T.J. and his friends? Why does the tattletale spend all his time trying to get everyone else in trouble? Was it fair for T.J. to take his sister's diary and let his friends read it? Encourage children to talk about their own experiences in school -- and to tell you why they would not want to give up their summer vacation.
