Reply to comment by 10000Didgeridoos in Research suggests that school-based physical activity intervention, by way of increasing physical exercise classes to daily during school, is successful in reducing childhood obesity. Scientists found that obesity was reversed after 3 years. by Wagamaga

I recently realized that we're basically training people from the age of 5 to accept the capitalistic hellscape for the abusive situation it is. No wonder people are okay with wage theft and being expected to respond to work e-mails 24/7--from the age of 5, they were told that breaks aren't really mandatory and can be taken away at the whim of an authority, forced to adhere to BS rules even at lunchtime, expected to take work home with them, etc.

Adults have federal laws that should protect their lunch and breaks. School children do not. A teacher can decide to take away a child's break (recess) on a whim or they simply "age out" of having a break entirely. Your employer can't force you to eat lunch with your workplace bully every single day (hostile work environment), but teachers can.

So is it any surprise that adults now kowtow to abusive work conditions?

It’s really not that bad. I sub and lower elementary kids really do very little seat work. Most teachers get that they need to move and they spend a ton of time up and moving.
