Oh wow, okay this I wasn't aware of. I think there are differences on the emphasis of P.E. and recess at the moment in different countries. I was a lazy little kid in school, especially in the winter. The thought of getting ready for P.E. would bore me. But once I'd get started, and as soon as I finished, I'd feel a massive difference over the next 24 hours. Oxbridge, two of the best universities in the world limit (from what I have heard) most lectures to 45-50 mins. If the world's elite are saying they need a break, surely children and young people's needs are clear. It's not what you do, it's how you do it at the end of the day. I'm sure that if final year exams has taught me one thing, it's cramming, without a break, no matter how much information I try to get into my mind, is pointless. The sad thing is I'm sure many of those attempting to raise the test scores have crammed for finals too ... they've just forgotten. Thanks a lot for the insight lawtguy.
