Only as much as it can force the child to participate in an academic activity, like math...

Attendance at an activity can be required, though forced "participation" is hard, since the child can just do nothing. However, if the activity was graded, such as music or gym, than if there is no participation obviously the child would not pass.
If your child is having difficulty at recess, I would guess the problem is social and social skills are very important. Talk to your child's teacher, guidance counselor, and principal to find out what the issue is. If your child is really struggling, you may even want to schedule an appointment with a therapist.

Actually it is the law that teachers provide recess. In NC we have to provide 30 minutes of activity every day. Luckily the school where I teach offers 30 minutes of PE everyday for the students. However, most schools do not offer this and the responsibility of physical activity falls on the teacher. So technically, it is just like any other subject that we are required to provide.

The point of recess is to get the child away from their desk. It serves to improve their focus and concentration to let them go out and burn of some energy. Why wouldn't you want them to do that?

The answer is yes, if everyone else is outside there is no one to watch your child, there fore he has to go but he/she doesn't have to do anything when out side.
