Recess in Elementary Schools

[rwethereyet]

I was wondering what the amount of time the different Elementary Schools have for recess. Evergreen has 15 mins. I can't remember what it was way back when I was in school, but that sounds kind of short to me. By the time the kids get out there, it's time to come back in. What are other schools doing?
