I never noticed how Ms.Finster was practically the only person watching the kids outside of class back when I watched this show

[@SchoolPrincipalReacts]

Yes! Lol 😂

[@JudgeTyBurns]

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.

[@SchoolPrincipalReacts]

Yep! 👍

[@kamccomb16]

The show as a whole is such a great commentary on society just told through the lens of kids on a playground

[@SchoolPrincipalReacts]

Yes you could say that! 👍

[@davidhanson9280]

"Kids should always be supervised." You'll only get more concerned the more kid shows you watch lol

[@SchoolPrincipalReacts]

Yeah ….. probably so lol 😂

[@ChrissaTodd]

@@SchoolPrincipalReacts i think it's okay, cause these fictional worlds are kind of made for kids to escape too, so of course it's not accurate, but it's more fun to watch, like with gordy in neds, it wouldn't be fun if he was fired, but yes in real life he'd be fired.

[@ranelgallardo7031]

As a child I even knew how unrealistic it was with the little supervision that kids shows/movies had.

[@SupportGamin2024]

This show is a disney classic,you'll enjoy,relatable to all generations

[@SchoolPrincipalReacts]

Thanks!

[@ag9953]

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.

[@SchoolPrincipalReacts]

Thanks! Looking forward to it!

[@pleaseshutup7053]

All my schools cafeteria food was horrible I grew up poor but my parents managed to make my lunch until I graduated high school. Dont know how they did it I truly don’t

[@MikeyFilms]

Ms. Finster is basically my 4th grade teacher with her hair style and attitude

[@SchoolPrincipalReacts]

Lol! 😂

[@crb8124]

Or my 2nd grade teacher.

[@ecstasycalculus]

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.

[@GalaxiaStars]

As someone who watched the whole show that's not true at all. We see more adults as the show continues. Even if they're not always regulars.

[@SchoolPrincipalReacts]

Wow. It would be tough running an elementary school with only these!

[@SchoolPrincipalReacts]

Ah I see. Thanks.

[@SupportGamin2024]

​@@GalaxiaStars by adults I think just means the school teachers,or faculty,Principal and grotke are the one's we mainly just see,we see other adults too like the parents of the students,but not as often?

@@SupportGamin2024 we see mr yamashiro who teaches a different class

[@officertom6751]

There are actually a few other teachers. There is Ms. Grotke who appears in the second episode for the first time. And there is also the janitor and there must be someone supervising the kindergarteners. I only saw a woman with a neck brace in a certain episode who dealt with the kindergarteners.

[@SchoolPrincipalReacts]

I see. I did notice a different teacher in the second episode! 👍

[@geraldsinger9954]

My favorite episode is The Hypnotist, as I laughed senseless when the principal, who was hypnotized into behaving like a 6 year old, was messing with the PA microphone.

[@SchoolPrincipalReacts]

Lol! 😂

[@Gvprtskvni]

Fun fact: if you kept digging a hole from the U.S. and managed to get through the center of the earth, you’d end up in the Indian Ocean. To get to China, you’d have to start digging in Argentina.

[@ecstasycalculus]

Yep. There's a specific word for that, the antipode. Where I live on the US east coast, it would be somewhere off the west coast of Australia.

[@SchoolPrincipalReacts]

Interesting!

[@SchoolPrincipalReacts]

Antipode! Word of the day! 👍

[@dakotahmays1437]

If you kept digging a hole you’d hit the Earth’s molten core and melt, but otherwise yeah that’s accurate😂

[@blankblankness2971]

You also need to factor in the strength of Earth’s gravitational pull. The closer you get to the core, the stronger it gets; if you actually reached the Earth’s core, you’d be weightless with practically no way out.

[@epicsamurai5]

YES! So glad you're finally doing Recess. One thing you'll learn is that Third Street School has many many issues. I think there's things that teachers and administrators can get from it.

[@SchoolPrincipalReacts]

Yes! I can see that! Plenty to comment on! 😂😂😂

[@ecstasycalculus]

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.

[@SchoolPrincipalReacts]

Yes, in the 2000s began an overhaul of healthy eating for kids.

[@Firebreather719]

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]

Yeah ….. I’ve tasted great school pizza and I’ve tasted terrible school pizza. I’ve seen circular, rectangular, and triangular pizza too! Lol 😂 🍕

[@Firebreather719]

@@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!

[@blankblankness2971]

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.)

[@marblessky777a]

Love this show

[@jasonhoffarth]

you should definitely do the magic school bus next

[@SchoolPrincipalReacts]

It’s on the list! 👍

[@RyanG144Videos]

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.

[@SchoolPrincipalReacts]

Thanks! I have episode two ready to go and will publish soon! 👍

[@Kuzamer]

Man this show brings back memories. Hearing you talk about your experience as a music teacher, another I'd recommend is Class of 3000. That show could definitely resonate with you.

[@nina-raedelong158]

@School Principal Reacts I have had teachers yell at me in front of the class before and it was humiliating every time. I wasn't trying to do anything bad. I made mistakes with good intentions and then the teachers yelled at me in front of my classmates. It does happen, unfortunately.

[@SchoolPrincipalReacts]

Yes, it does, unfortunately. It’s a shame. The best teachers never do this. 👍

[@greenprimalranger]

You should totally go through every episode and watch the movie, Recess: Shools Out, after reacting to the show. Trust me when I say, Ms. Finster is an awesome force of nature, they really humanize her as the series goes on and show that she genuinely loves her job.

[@SchoolPrincipalReacts]

Thanks! 👍

[@FusselImNeruland]

I watched the series back in the days fully in german. I didnt even think there was a english / worldwide version of it too😅 I think it all takes place in a school in europe. Ms. Finster is even a german name

[@SchoolPrincipalReacts]

Cool! 🇩🇪

[@ExaltedTilemaker]

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

[@SchoolPrincipalReacts]

Lol! 😂

[@pleaseshutup7053]

For us it was the teachers aids who watched every once in awhile a teacher would come play with us

[@AzaiKang]

ohhhh now I remember this show, the intro was the one I usually see on Disney my brother was watching. Brings a lot of memories.

[@Ansible1000]

Another reason you may ‘remember’ the music is that the music and the show itself is basically Hogan’s Heroes at an elementary school instead of a Luftwaffe POW camp.

[@SchoolPrincipalReacts]

Yep! 👍

Awesome reaction of my favorite episode of Disney's Recess!!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊😊

[@SchoolPrincipalReacts]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@ChrissaTodd]

in the movie that comes later called taking 5th grade finster does become their 5th grade teacher but i think until then she's more of an advisor for recess and lunch.

[@stonecoldgamer5222]

This one a classic in my eyes has been a long time.

[@Ozzygirl17]

In elementary school, I packed mostly, except on pizza day (usually on Wednesdays). Long story short, I’m picky. As the show goes on, I learn to love Ms. Finster. Typically my recess was mostly sitting or running around a parking lot until roughly 3rd grade when they finally built a decent size playground. The first episode I saw of “Recess” was the school project one.

[@evanrosman9226]

I believe people have been asking you to react to this show for a while.

[@deevids3349]

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.

[@SchoolPrincipalReacts]

I have seen this practice more often, students having to make up missed assignments.

[@ashrencher2658]

This is one interesting playground.

[@SpencerDeC]

You might recognize the theme song, because it is almost identical to Hogan's Heroes' theme song. The intro video is even similar to Hogan's Heroes. Great reaction, keep it up!

[@SchoolPrincipalReacts]

Yes very similar!

[@crb8124]

The show is basically Community for kids, like, a decade before Community was made. Group of oddballs dealing with hijinks in a school. Actually, the dodgeball episode and paintball episode in Community are nearly 1:1 matches plotwise.

[@MissTV36]

Recess, that was a great show from my childhood.

I'm not sure if you play videogames, but there's a videogame called "Bully," that covers a high school setting where you deal with Bullies, and they have all the stereotypical cliques: jocks, nerds, bullies, preps, dropouts......It would go very well with the theme of the channel.

Unfortunately its way too mature for this channel. Thanks for the suggestion.

[@SchoolPrincipalReacts]

Correct…… but I appreciate the suggestion. 👍

[@infernoblast853]

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.

[@SchoolPrincipalReacts]

Cool! 🍕

[@chvehyuns]

kinda late but loved ur reaction watching it with u for the first time 💕 omg when she yelled at the kid in front of everyone i had flashbacks to how when i was in elementary school all the teachers would do this even in middle school luckily i was never called out on but i could definitely feel the second hand embarrassment 😭😭😭 so horrible!

[@SchoolPrincipalReacts]

Thanks! Yes, definitely some bad examples of teaching in this video! 😂

[@HuskyDog88]

@@SchoolPrincipalReacts Muriel Finster was not a teacher. She was the assistant principal of the school. Peter Prickly was the principal. I know, because I watched this show when I was a kid. Muriel was voiced by April Winchell, she was the daughter of Paul Winchell, the ventriloquist/voice actor/comedian/inventor. He was the original voice of Tigger in Winnie the Pooh, and in 1963 he invented the first artificial heart.

[@blankblankness2971]

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]

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.

[@BranakinSkywalker]

I always thought the shows theme song sounded like SpongeBob

[@brokendreams6224]

You might enjoy reacting to certain episodes of Danny Phantom. Many of the episodes take place in school and there are villian ghosts such as an evil cafeteria lady and a great episode involving a ghost student from the 80’s.

In my old school days, the only good food was either Pizza or Hamburgers. Everything else was kind of trashy. God forbid you got the "Emergency lunch" it was just a peanut butter sandwich with hamburger buns instead of white/wheat bread and 5 celery sticks. Funny enough I remember my old Music Teacher would sell either King Size Candy or His wife's home made Cookies at the end of School right out side of the School's parking lot for a dollar.

[@SchoolPrincipalReacts]

Yes I am familiar with “emergency lunch” lol 😂 Most schools have something like that on the last day of school or the day before a long holiday. Wow, that’s a bold music teacher 😂

The paperclips 🖇️ were too hot to even be picked up by hand. My mom said it almost started a fire 🔥 😬.

That strange lack of staff members kind of gets me hyped for Ed, Edd n Eddy because they don’t ever show the adults on-screen. Well, except for Eddy’s brother, but he doesn’t appear until the very end of the series.

[@jescis0]

As a kid, time(even back then without a clock that a kid can read) is hard to tell how long one has been in an area… Also, while not "realistic", I WOULD say that it's more of a kids POV about what goes on in school… but Ms. Fincher is the only teacher that watches the kids during recess, but in later episodes there's other teachers in the classroom… besides she doesn't need more teachers watching during recess, when she has a snitcher 😂😂😉😉😁😁

[@cjg8763]

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!

[@SchoolPrincipalReacts]

Thanks! I will definitely do Hey Arnold, but it may be after the ones I am currently working on that have been recommended a little more often - but it’s on my list! 👍

[@theuntoaster8727]

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!

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.

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.

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!

Whoever took away 45 minute recess needs to be in jail

I was in kindergarten in 1995 and I don't remember recess ever being more than 30 minutes, it was usually around 20 minutes

[@pleaseshutup7053]

@@ecstasycalculus when I was In elementary it was 45 min recess and 25 min lunch when I got to 5th grade they made the switch 25 min recess and 45 min lunch

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 🤔

[@SchoolPrincipalReacts]

Thanks! Hey Arnold coming eventually!

@@SchoolPrincipalReacts How about the 'Whomps' episode?

[@foxfanAly2005]

and what made you want to be a principal and why?

[@SchoolPrincipalReacts]

Principals have the unique ability to make positive changes over a wider scope and it is fulfilling to help individual students, teachers, and parents with many different things.
