Whither recess?

Whatever happened to recess? I can't imagine a school day without one! This is a crime.

In elementary school (1 thru 8) we had two levels of pavement on which to play during recess.

In high school we had the full school grounds. At lunch we were allowed to go out if we wished.

I also recall that in high school every semester we had at least one free period other than lunch. That was nice.

Oh, yes, scroll down, I mentioned it as well... ;-)
