by Anonymous13 years ago

by Anonymous13 years ago
Wow! Were they trying to starve you or something!? How long is your lunchtime then?
by Anonymous13 years ago
but u get used to it, and for me at least after a while you realize that its just unneeded.
by Anonymous13 years ago
30 minits...too short! and its even less cuz we get a little "break" to go outside for 10 minits in the grass.
by Anonymous13 years ago

I know! I though every where was like that! You must have a shorter day at school or something, when do you start and finish?
by Anonymous13 years ago
i don't know if your on military time, but here its 8 am - 3 pm. so i guess 8-15 if you go by military time.
by Anonymous13 years ago
we have am and pm stuff, we start at 8.30am and finish at 3.25pm
by Anonymous13 years ago
o so around the same time. my classes are 41 minits long, how long are yours?
by Anonymous13 years ago
80 although some are split in half for the less important subjects like music and italian and sometimes art
by Anonymous13 years ago
o wow! our Language arts class is 80 minutes cuz its 2 periods long. and theres 10 periods in a day. but your still really lucky that you get a long break. my break is a 30 minit lunch mixed with 10 minutes outside.
by Anonymous13 years ago
we have 4 subjects a day unless it's split in half. Do you go to a public school?
by Anonymous13 years ago
o lucky. do you have gym and stuff?
and yes, i do, do u?
by Anonymous13 years ago
nah, i go to a private.
By gym, do you mean sport or P.E.?
by Anonymous13 years ago
P.E.
by Anonymous13 years ago
yeah, in australia sport and P.E. usually refer to the same thing. Do Americans have different subjects?
by Anonymous13 years ago
well, for P.E., no, just different names. but we have tons of different classes.
by Anonymous13 years ago
Well I have school from 8:00 am to 2:55pm. Periods are 45 min. I have 7 periods. We have 25 minutes to eat but we can sit any where on school grounds. So we could technically eat on the lower school's playground but no one does. My subjects are Language Arts, World Geography, Math, Earth/Space science, Band, and TVproductions.

*petrified. unfortunately mine stopped at fourth grade.
by Anonymous13 years ago
I was even more petrified when I saw your spelling error =]
by Anonymous13 years ago
We didn't have official "recess", but we did have breaks.
by Anonymous13 years ago
same
by Anonymous13 years ago
Our first break was fifteen minutes between first and second period, and then an hour for lunch.
by Anonymous13 years ago
oh wow i don't even get that. just 10 minutes after lunch.
by Anonymous13 years ago
I don't think my school does that anymore. I wouldn't exactly know, as I graduated two years ago.
by Anonymous13 years ago
ooh. well im in the middle of it right now =]
by Anonymous13 years ago
i had recess til 8th and still have 10 minute break in high school..
by Anonymous13 years ago
Uh, I wouldn't say I was "petrified". Maybe a bit disappointed. And we had a break which is essentially the same thing... just a "big boys and girls" way to say recess.
by Anonymous13 years ago
For us, we still had it, but it was called "brunch," and it was only like 15 minutes.

School lost its appeal when they took out the swings :(

We got no recess and 20 minute lunches in middle school...
by Anonymous13 years ago
I only have a 30 minute lunch period now.
by Anonymous13 years ago
In 3rd grade, we got 2 recesses in one day which was awesome! But now in middle school, we don't have any recess and a 30 minute lunch.
by Anonymous13 years ago
Where I live we don't have middle school. :(
by Anonymous13 years ago
hahaha i miss recess. high school has a 30 minute lunch. at least WE consider it nice
by Anonymous13 years ago
I still do. Might be a Catholic school thing?
by Anonymous13 years ago
I had it in Middle School but I YYA this because I was petrified when I found out there was no recess in High School. I'm actually happy now because I already have gym daily so I'm active and don't have to be rushed to eat my food. (The line for lunch alone is crazy.)
by Anonymous13 years ago
i do
by Anonymous13 years ago
I have recess in high school. We're just fancy people and we call it brunch. Lol.
by Anonymous13 years ago
I didn't care then, but now I miss it. It had recess yesterday because we spent the day before testing. Our principle is a jerk because we only got 5 minutes and before he was here we had time outside everyday.
by Anonymous13 years ago
lunch=recess
by Anonymous13 years ago
This post speaks to my soul. GOD, I MISS RECESS. I might not have been petrified, but I sure as hell miss it. Playing tag, swinging on the swings, and other fun games that I enjoyed with my childhood friends.
Some people say they can't wait to grow up, but all I want to do is just go back to my care-free, childish roots.
by Anonymous13 years ago
Middle School? I [for some stupid reason] don't have one of those where I live.. Its just an Elementary school from grades JK Kindergarten-8 and then a High School from grades 9-12..
And we have Recess for both.. twice a day in Elementary.. not sure about High School though. Yeah.
by Anonymous13 years ago
Where I am, we don't call it recess but we have morning tea for 25 minutes then a break for lunch for 45 minutes at high school and middle school. Did you guys just go the whole day without eating or something?
by Anonymous13 years ago
I was so upset when they said that now im a junior in high school and one of my classes is working in a preschool i now consider their recess my recess
by Anonymous13 years ago
uhh... hell no. I started hating recess in the sixth grade. Randomly playing in a playground for a half hour? It's stupid and unnecessary. I was so relieved we didn't have recess in middle school. And for those who are saying you have recess no matter what age you are, your school is messed up. I don't care what anyone thinks, this is my opinion.
by Anonymous13 years ago
Opps, spelling error. I thought I was going to DIE of boredom without recess, but I have ADHD so I guess I can't tallerate (sp?) long periods of time learning than most. In middle school I had a 40 minute lunch break, kind of long but not the same as taking a break to just relax between classes.
by Anonymous13 years ago
My breaks at school goes for 30mins, then an hour and a half later, its 45 mins. Gotta love Australia
