Back in the dark ages of the 1960s and 1970s when I was in elementary school, we got three recess breaks: 2 15 minute ones (a.m. and p.m.) and a 30 minute one after lunch. By the time I was in high school, the afternoon one had been eliminated. Thanks to the Testing Industrial Complex, for a brief while many schools eliminated recess altogether, claiming P.E. classes were adequate substitutes (they weren't, but they do have their own benefits). Now schools are bringing back recess, which they should have never gotten rid of in the first place.
