Period (school)

A school period is a block of time allocated for lessons, classes or other activities in schools. They typically last between 40 and 60 minutes, with around 3-8 periods per school day. However, especially in higher education, there can be many more. Educators determine the number and length of these periods, and may even regulate how each period will be used. One common example of this practice is to designate at least one compulsory period a day for physical education.

Free period

One special example of a high school period is the free period. A free period (often abbreviated to "free" and also known as a "spare" or "unstructured") is generally found in most high schools and colleges. The free period first started as recess, where in middle school it basically changed into a homeroom period. When middle school students go to high school, then comes the free period. During a free period, a student can either:

  • Walk around the campus freely until the next period. Some high schools permit students to leave the campus and go home, visit nearby shops or go to a nearby area outside the school grounds.
  • Podcasts:

    Caught In The Quagmire

    by: Firebird

    Well every day
    The people play
    To drown themselves
    In the whiskey water
    Where's feeling's high
    It's double time
    I could be wrong
    I need a glass
    Just to swab me over
    We take a drink
    We start to see
    I don't recall when
    I felt so sober
    Caught in the mire,
    That's where I am.
    Do you understand?
    It's such a shame
    We know we've found
    We're losing ground,
    I don't recall
    Caught in the mire,
    That's where I am.
    Do you understand?
    Caught in the mire
    That's where I am
