No Recess in Middle School?

One of my kids started 6th grade this year, and apparently there's no recess. When they finish their lunch, they just sort of hang out in the cafeteria. And they get PE once per week.
No wonder half these kids are fricking fatasses.
Curious if this is common. My middle school years were practically structured around "smear the queer" and football with a tennis ball.

Recesses have been cut back in all grades. It’s a damn shame.

I wasn't in middle school nearly 40 years ago, and we didn't have recess

Yeah.... recess ended in 5th grade. 6th you started pe/band/choir. If you chose PE you had that for an hour every day.
Pretty sure that’s SOP

Or those big red textured balls. Those frickers could sail with a well placed kick'

And idiotic considering every study on the issue finds that students perform better with increased unstructured/play time.

We didn’t have recess in middle school but had PE every year. Early 2000s.

Schools started cancelling "smear the queer" games when they realized that almost all of their male teachers are queer.

I only had recess in elementary school.

I always had 2 recesses and that didn’t include lunch or pe. (K-12)

We played smear the queer through 8th grade. A lot of ripped uniform shirts and a few fights, but there weren't too many obese kids back then.

You had 2 recess periods in high school?
Posted on 8/22/18 at 1:41 pm to LSUfan20005
Middle school late 1970's: 10 recess in morning, 30 minutes minimum after lunch, 10 minutes mid-afternoon. That's a lot of queer smearin'! And if your teacher was cool, PE was tacked on after the afternoon recess. Kickball with those purple/red utility balls.
Run home at 3:00 for a half bag of oreos and milk with Gilligan's Island on the TV then off to football or baseball or basketball practice depending on the season.

I had 2 PEs most of HS. Regular and athlete PE.
Maybe that is what he means : dunno:

Evening? Were you in school all day? This just sounds wild to me.
