[edit] Noise during recess
At least in the US, if you are anywhere in the neighborhood of a school, the shouts of children outside fill the air continuously during recess. After recess, the neighborhood again falls silent. I am curious if other children from other nations are also allowed and encouraged to shout like louts, scream, sing and dance during recess, or are they trained to act more decorously? This has been true since the founding of the Republic, at least.
Thinking about it, this is probably a reason that Americans are perceived to have poor manners, compared to other nations; they grew up that way.
By contrast, Native American children were taught to be silent, as a survival skill, before the European colonization of the Americas. Ancheta Wis 23:25, 5 Nov 2004 (UTC)
British schools are very noisy at playtime. Maybe things are different in somewhere like Japan though. adamsan 13:30, 6 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Yes British schools are incredibly noisy during break and lunch time, I think I used to be able to hear my old school about a half mile away. Arent Japanese children becoming more rebellious within school and therefore more loud or is that just me? Sheep21
[edit] Concentration
Kids (and indeed all of us) need to have breaks - it helps concentration. This should be mentioned in here somewhere, with any appropriate research, evidence and references. violet/riga (t) 16:32, 6 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- I'll take a look around to see what I can find, but it might be nice for someone with written materials or at least more knowledge in this specific subject area to add to this. violet/riga (t) 23:02, 7 Nov 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Random musings about concentration

216.153.214.94071404, I am not convinced that this is about recess. Please supply 80% proof. -- Antaeus Feldspar 06:05, 7 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Feldspar, I am pretty sure Jack Daniel's is now 80 proof - please go drink 5 gallons in 1 hour. 216.153.214.94 20:16, 7 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Jack Daniel's is 80 proof? Please provide additional proof. --kizzle 20:50, Nov 7, 2004 (UTC)
See link here 216.153.214.94 22:47, 7 Nov 2004 (UTC)
I'm still not convinced. Please provide additional proof. --kizzle 01:59, Nov 8, 2004 (UTC)
Sure: Drop your trousers. Stick your head up your butt. You will find all the proof suitable to you there. 216.153.214.94 03:20, 8 Nov 2004 (UTC)
I'm still not convinced. You have failed to specify which butts the proof may be found in. Please provide additional proof for your proof. -- Antaeus Feldspar 03:42, 8 Nov 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Labour force
What about lunch breaks for workers? Shouldn't that be included here too, or should there instead be a separate article for that?
[edit] Lucky
MY school only gets 30 minutes for recess, not 45. But seriously, shouldn't there be somthing about that? Raichu 21:59, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Different names for recess
I'm from Australia, and I've never once heard recess called "little lunch" before, we call it recess also. Maybe it's a dialectical thing. I'm about to modify the article a bit for clarification. WikiSlasher 14:37, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
- Same with "playlunch".
In the UK I have never heard the term Recess used, only Play time and Lunch time. Sheep21
[edit] Page
Is it just my computer, or has something happened to the article? I can't see the article (it says there is no article, but I can access the history, watch, and this page). Noone 21:33, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
