How long did their recess normally last for?




I remember recess at my school only lasted for about 20 minutes...but with some of the stuff they get up to in the show, makes it seem like recess lasts for an hour lol.

well morning tea was i think half an hour... and lunch was an hour... or something like that at my school

reply

morning tea? are you british or did you go to a really fancy school or both?

and to answer the poster's question, it was about 45 minutes in elementary school. lunch was about an 50 minutes in middle school and you could go out onto the field for the last 20 minutes of that if you wanted to.

My recess is four minutes. It's called passing period.

But I do believe someone said that they were missing 40 minutes of freedom in the recess in cancelled episode. At my elementary school we got ten minutes for recess. My district is terrible.

Whoa. Cancelling recess is one thing, but kids need some kind of physical activity. At least give them P.E.

The reason why their recess last so long is thanks to TJ and his gang. Remember in the episode of the spy for the board of the education (he pretended to be a kid when he actually a 42 year old man). The TJ gang showed him their way of prolonging recess by tampering with the clock.

They said 40 minutes a few times. Judging by the clocks it starts at 10:00 (a pretty early recess) and ends around 10:40.

My school had two 15 minute recess' (one in the morning and one in the afternoon) with a 45 minute lunch hour (not including the 15 minutes beforehand that they gave us to eat)that we called middle recess.

reply

Time works a bit differently when your a kid. When I was young and went to recess every day at school it would usually last about 15-20 minutes but it felt much longer than that and a lot of things took place within that span of time.

reply

Half an hour. When your a kid it seems like forever.

reply

Same, recess lasts for 30 minutes in most of the districts surrounding me. (KC,MO,US)

reply

Lol well each episode is about 10 mins long.
