Figure 1.--Prep school boys learn how to make use of free times in the brief periods that may become available during the day.

Life at British prep schools tends to be very structured. The children persue a demanding academic program as well as a wide range of activities. With classess, games, meals, rest time, musical instrument practive prep, and other scheduled activities, the children do not have a lot of free time. A look at the school time tables show how little free time the children have, especially during the week. There are, however, different times during the day when there is a little free time. Sometimes it is just a few minutes before lunch or dinner. Sometimes there is a little free time in the schule, usually in the afternoon or evening. Scholls have different policies about this. Some want tofill up the school day with stryctured activities. Other schools want to help the children learn how to productively used their free time.
