I assume that's recess, in addition to lunch.

  So? Lunch is waiting in line and sitting at a table -- often sitting quietly, in schools where the adults are strict. Recess is physical activity.

    Really? I didn't go to school in the US. Do they really spend the whole lunch hour sitting around? We went outside, ate our sandwiches or bought lunch from the canteen, and then played for the rest of the hour. The whole "school lunch" thing in the US I find bizarre.

      Hour? We got 30 minutes. Technically 25 minutes with a 5 minutes passing period (to get to back to class). Even with the school taking staggered lunches that still meant 1000 kids on lunch. It could easily take 20 minutes to go t through the cafeteria line. Though that was highschool. I can't remember middle/elementary well enough, though even then I really don't think it was an hour.
