Recalling public middle school in Wisconsin:
>Walk (or cycle) to school: 10 minutes
School starts at 7:40a; most days walking between 7:15a and 7:30a; for most of the year that walk is in the dark or the sun is very low and not very bright.
>Morning break: 20 minutes
Never got one of those
>Lunch: 45-60 minutes
Try 20.
>Afternoon break: 20 minutes
Never got one of those
>Walk home from school: 10 minutes.
Figure one extra-curricular with a duration of 1 hour. For most of the year, the walk home for me was 4:00p-4:15p which was entirely dark.
- Symbiote 12y agoThat's a very long day! And unfortunate with the timezone. Here (London), even in December at least morning is in daylight, and hometime is at dusk (well before twilight). The school next door to my workplace has this schedule (from their website), for 5-11 year olds: 8:45 - children start to arrive 8:55 - children go inside 10:20-10:35 - morning break 12:00-13:10 - lunch 15:15 - hometime! 15:45 - still lots of children playing, parents chatting 16:00 - most have gone by this point, though on a nice sunny day they can easily still be playing and chatting at 17:30. The nearest school for 12-16 year olds with info on their website do 8:30-15:00, but only have 45 minutes for lunch. My own school had an hour for lunch, but finished at 15:30. These schools don't have an afternoon break.
