Reccess...

I'm just saying that when people say things like, "At recess I did this" that gives away personal information, it gives away that you are in elementary school. I just think that for the safety of all of my fellow WI'ers, we should refrain from saying this. Thank you!

That's interesting, I never thought of that. The high school that I attended had recess all the way to grade 12.

(I'm not revealing any information here, since all mods are adults.)

I've never thought of it like that! But like webberlily said, people can have recess all the way up until high school. Thanks for sharing, though.

Yes, but that is true, but about 95 percent of people only have it up to sixth grade. middle school

Good point, yet when a person says that, they probably don't mean a thing. And it's better than just saying what grade you're in! Still, you make a good point.

That is a great point! Webberlily is right, though.
But good thinking... most people get it until 5th or 6th grade, tops...

It's interesting to see the different opinions on this; if many of you have recess only in elementary, then we can edit it out.

Thanks for bringing this point to everyone's attention!

Wait, perhaps where you live has no recess in the higher grades (gasp!). Where I am, we have recess 'til... I dunno.
