So we can mold the minds of children through subliminal messaging to take over the world...
or so we can speed up the process of obesity.
I had recess in primary, elementary, and a "break" in middle school. But we also had physical education in middle school, it was required. In high school we didn't have recess or anything, but my school was so small that most of everyone was in some sort of after school program / sport. Ha ha. And now in college we have a gym and I'm also in a kickboxing class. It's awesome.
