    I’d describe this show as taking place in a heightened, exaggerated reality, like the version of the world that exists in kids’ imagination. Not that it’s literally imaginary in-story, but that’s what it reminds the viewer of.

    This show is awesome and the character development is on-point particularly for the teachers, which is such a weird thing for cartoons to do, all of the faculty gets their moment to shine, even the student teacher, but the real winners are Ms. Finster and Principal Prickly, they start out as these dark figures but get slowly humanized to the point that you really end up liking them a lot.

    There are actually a few other teachers. There is Ms. Grotke who appears in the second episode for the first time.

    There are pretty much three adults we see in this show on a regular basis: Miss Finster, whom I'm not sure what her role is at the school beyond supervising recess and lunch (assistant principal, maybe?); Principal Prickly; and Miss Grotke, a classroom teacher whose class the main characters are in, we never see her on recess or lunch duty even when her kids are at recess or lunch.

    In my experience, elementary school recess usually lasts for fifteen minutes. I remember some of my old teachers issuing penalties cutting into the times students spend during recess in increments of five minutes. Oftentimes, the higher the increment, the worse the backup consequences would be. (Generally, I’d be used to a five-minute penalty having no additional effect, a ten-minute penalty resulting in a note getting sent to the parents, and a fifteen-minute penalty resulting in a parent phone call about the misconduct that caused the penalty.)

    At every school I went to as a kid (public school, 90s-early 00s), the cafeteria food was bought in from some wholesale distributor like Sysco and then reheated by the staff. Very little food made on premises. Because I grew up with health-conscious parents, the cafeteria was my introduction to American junk food staples like corn dogs, tater tots, and onion rings.

    This was fun/interesting to watch! The second episode if you haven’t already seen it introduces the 6th member of the group, who is ‘the new kid’. Interestingly, during the shows run they have had 2 voice actors for the Main character TJ. The first person to voice him was 12 at the time and was recast when his voice broke. So the remaining 55 episodes of the show actually have a different person voicing TJ. After the second episode it probably doesn’t matter as much what episodes are watched next. Although having order can be good I think. I guess whatever you think. Either way, look forward to more.

    My mom and dad packed my lunch when I was in school. My mom actually went to my cafeteria at one point I can't remember what it was about. Probably some parent teacher conference and they had the lunch ladies serve food. My mom was like "let's go eat lunch here you love Pizza, and school lunch's were great when I was little it's all in your head" she gets a tray and she takes one bite of the pizza her exact words were "I'm so sorry I doubted you when you said it was nasty for now on me or your dad will keep packing your lunch." It was rare to see cause not many times does my mom admit she was wrong. The pizza was these like square microwave pizzas were the cheese was thin the sauce barely existent and had a reputation of being hot on one end and hard and cold on the other.

      @@SchoolPrincipalReacts thanks for the reply! What I think they did was they cooked the pizza early in the morning and probably put it in the microwave to warm it it. Since I know microwaves have what's known as hot spots where certain spots will be really hot than other spots be cold. They were also known to either burn it or undercook it. Funny thing is my friends said that was the better of the lunch items was the pizza. I know schools have to follow nutrition guidelines but apart of me wonders if some schools are underfunded. Mine I remember being underfunded because of the old text books. That had torn pages and NSFW stuff written on them. Plus the lunch's were quite low quality, the vocational school I'm going to now to be an electrician I heard has good food but I never carry cash on me cause I always use my debit card. I went there for my junior and senior year for graphic design while I loved graphic design I didnt want to relocate and didn't want to go college, than my dad got sick 2 years after I graduated and I helped him on his bread route as he had congestive heart failure and was a independent distributer for flowers bakery. I helped him for almost 3 years from 2018 to middle of 2021, he unfortunately passed away in July 21st 2022 a day after my birthday. I decided to go back to school I went in adult classes where I'm taking electrician, I graduate in June of this year. Sorry to ramble on so much, have a great rest of your weekend!

    Usually at my elementary school there were two teachers that stood at the playground to watch the kids at recess. It was divided into two recess periods between one half of the grades and another, so there were fewer kids to cover at once. Still, it got pretty chaotic and things happened under the radar all the time. They didn't see everything that went on, but they at least made sure we didn't kill each other. Which very well might have happened without intervention XD

    TJ attempting to steal from the cafeteria may get him in slightly more serious trouble. If he got away with it, he could face OSS or maybe even expulsion and getting fined by the police (especially given that property theft is legally a misdemeanor until it exceeds a certain cost to replace the stolen items, at which point it becomes a felony), even though it’s not as serious of an offense as breaching the district’s computer security, which usually merits expulsion.

    • @SchoolPrincipalReacts
      @SchoolPrincipalReacts  6 місяців тому

      You are right. It would be probably either ISS or OSS depending on his history. But not the police. The reality is that the police rarely get involved with actually charging someone with a crime for something that happened in school. It has to be fairly serious for that to happen. Usually drugs or weapons.

    The elementary school I went to when I was older, if we didn’t do our homework the day before, we would get detention. During the lunch/recess period, a student would have to go to another classroom, while that class was in session, and sit away from those students. Like in the back or something. Eat our lunch and do the homework we didn’t do. I had that happen to me before. I didn’t want to do homework, so I ended up doing it in detention. I remember a teacher would deliver the lunch to whatever classroom you had detention at, unless you packed a lunch.

    The good thing about my high school i guess was you pretty much choose your meal. (There was still stuff you were mandated to get) but you could get extra fruit, a extra thing of meat. A different drink if you didn't just want water like a iced tea. Desert meals like a ice cream bar. Some days they had options outside of the normal meal. So you could get either pizza or chicken tenders. It made high school lunch so nice and none of our meals were really bad anyway. It was nice to be able to customize and not be stuck with something you might not like. A lot of this costed more but i always had like 20 dollars from doing chores so i didn't mind it, Felt more true to life.

    I didn't watch this growing up, maybe the odd episode here or there but that was it. I'll watch it with you here if you're gonna do it. :)
    Also still recommending to you the school related episodes of "Hey Arnold." There are many of them. The first season they had a different teacher from the rest of the show so while I still think you should watch some of those (especially the teacher strike episode, would love to hear your commentary on that!) I still recommend season 2's episode "New Teacher" as the one to start with. I really hope you'll give it a chance!
    When I was in elementary school there was a morning recess, which was 15 minutes long, then we got an hour for lunch later on, and then there was a late recess (which only K - 3rd grade were allowed to, 4th and 5th graders had to miss out on it) and it was only 10 minutes long. My school had a large concrete playground with basketball hoops (there was also a covered portion with basketball hoops) and a large structure (called the "Big Toy") which was like your basic park playground area with a slide and monkey bars and such, and we were hardly ever allowed to play on it LOL. At lunch break we were allowed to go up to the actual park which was located behind our playground (up a little hill, there were stairs from our playground straight up to the park) and a couple of teachers or school administrators would be up there with us during that time. Large fields, swings, slides, monkey bars, a baseball diamond, and a large sandbox were all up there.
    The kid on the swing in this episode reminds me of a series of shorts on Nickelodeon that used to be on in the 90s called "Inside Out Boy" which was about a kid who swung over the top bar of the swing set and his body turned inside out. These shorts would play between other shows and were about a minute long or so. (Another one of these shorts was "As The School Bus Turns" and another which actually got its own full show was "The Adventures of Pete and Pete").
    Anyway, it was nice watching this with you and hearing your commentary on it! Please do consider "Hey Arnold" and until next time, cheers!

    1:41 How’d they even break through the concrete? Normally, students aren’t authorized the kinds of power tools needed to do that, and they’d need really tough shovels (potentially made of diamond) to dig through it like dirt.

    Did anyone else not have 6th grade as part of the elementary they went to? Feels like my elementary school was the only one that didn't have it that way. First knew it was a thing seeing it on TV growing up. Thought it was a unique thing but my mom had it where she lived growing up also.

    One teacher on the playground might not be that unrealistic. I was in elementary school in the 90s/early 2000s, and the teachers at my school had a rotating schedule of who was on playground duty during recess. If I remember correctly, there was one teacher watching the older children and one watching the younger children (the school had about 350 students total). The school in this show seems likely smaller than my old school (we had two classes per grade. Off-hand I can't remember ever seeing more than one class per grade in Recess, but it has been a while since I've watched it), so one supervisor during recess tracks!

    Thanks for this, you see why now I recommended it. I rewatched it 3 times, I love BLIND reactions, and that was the Icing on the cake, I assumed you had seen Recess in the past. BTW, a lot of the antics you see in this show, are only MILDLY exaggerated, I say that as someone who went to school, SAW and even done some of those things or something like it.Teachers and other staff only know about 2% of what actually happens on playgrounds and during recess.

    Please I would beg you to keep reviewing this show or at least half of it because it's over 100 episodes after all. Choose episodes that are related to your field as a School Principal! I suggest "Principal for a Day": That would be an amazing episode to review or "Prickly is Leaving" which deals with Principals transferring schools and very unfair Principals or "The Economics of Recess" which literally deals with Capitalism!
    If anyone else has a Recess Episode you would recommend to the good gentleman here, feel free to share!

    If those diggers actually tried to reach Beijing by digging straight down, their point of origin would have to be somewhere near Departamento Conesa, Argentina because that’s on the exact opposite side of the globe. Their point of origin is clearly in the United States, though, so they’d have a better chance of ending up in the Indian Ocean. Also, they’d have to face the even more serious issue of the strength of Earth’s gravitational pull. This is why nobody has ever attempted to reach the center of the Earth, and even the best attempt at this, namely the Kola borehole in Pechengsky District, Murmansk, Russia, is only about 7.6 miles deep, which is only just under half the thickness of Earth’s crust.

    Assuming the cafeteria is rectangular 1678 tiles would not really work out that well the only factors of 1678 are 1, 2, 839, and 1678.

    Unless that ceiling is not a perfect rectangle, I have no clue how TJ counted 1,678 tiles. It’s not evenly divisible by any basic number except 1 and 2, and its only other factor besides 1,678 is 839, which is a prime number.

    I didn't watch Recess as a kid, but I would sometimes watch the opening before moving on to something else (so the opening tune stuck with me too). I had thought that the animation looked low quality and I wasn't really into the way the characters looked, but now that I'm older I feel able to appreciate things better and give the show a chance. Definitely a lot of interesting commentary about what things shouldn't be like at a school 😂. I think Nickelodeon's Hey Arnold just managed to outcompete this show for me 🤔
