re: No Recess in Middle School?

Middle school for me started at 7th grade and ran through 8th. We didn't have recess in those grades.

Last grade I had recess was 6th.

Kids aren't fat asses because of no recess. They are just lazy or their shite parents don't monitor what they eat.

hen I was a kid, we would make fun of the kids that went to Lake Castle because they didn't have recess.

No wonder half these kids are fricking fatasses.

If you expect recess at middle school to prevent your kid from being a fat arse you are cognitively deficient.

and teachers are gonna complain that they are hyperactive in class

I don't pay taxes for recess, baw!

Funny enough I was just talking to my daughter that is in middle school, she mentioned that she has two recess times, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. P.E. everyother day.

I was in middle school in the late 90's early 00's and we had 20 minutes for recess right after lunch, plus P.E. everyday. Highschool we had a lengthy lunch period to hang out for a while.

I graduated hs in '09. We stopped having recess at the end of intermediate school. (5th grade)

Went to Haynes Middle/Jr. High in Old Metairie, 6th-9th grade 1975-1979 (they switched from a middle school to a jr. high while I was there).

There was no recess back then, and certainly not in high school afterwards. And there was no preponderance of 'fat asses' either....

At my middle school (mid-late 80's) recess stopped after 5th grade, but we also had PE every year through the 8th grade. In high school you were only required to take one year of PE. If you played sports that counted as PE requirement. All athletes had "PE" 7th period (last of the day) and that is when we would start practice. If you were not a multiple sport athlete you could just go home early if it was the off-season of your sport.
