At St.Dorothys Senior School we have school from 8:00 am to 1:30 pm. Our break is minimum 7 minutes to maximum 14 minutes. To be sure of this, my friends and I have timed it and usually most days are about 10 minutes. The students of St.Dorothys School sit around all day and don't really move about in class which is very unhealthy given that when break approaches we have only a 10 minute break to eat, drink, talk, play etc. You are not allowed to eat or drink in class although some teachers may let you drink at some point. Most schools finish at 2 or 2:30, sometimes even 3, this is only because the break is longer. Break time is a very important part of school. Why?It is very important to socialise more with your friends and classmates throughout the day.It relieves stress and helps you take stock of everything you just learnt (studied). It's a good idea to do a quick recap of everything you've just gone over right before jumping back into more studying. Not only will this gently improve your overall grade in all of your classes, but it will make life outside school more relaxing and enjoyable. The goal is to let your brain take a break from the new information received. In a spam of 10 minutes it's like the teacher left the classroom, went to the bathroom and gave the class a 5 minute break, and went back to what she was saying or another teacher comes in and starts something new therefore I am proposing that the break is not shorter than 30 minutes long.
