Attention span at school is about one hour to focus on one thing. it is not multi-tasking

Attention span at school is about one hour to focus on one thing. it is not multi-tasking

school had classes called hour by their number and name:
1st hour, 2nd hour, 3rd hr to 7th hour.
it was called hour but it was not a full hour.
we had 5-10 minutes from the time you left
one class to arrive at the next class.

lunch hour was not an hour or even a
half an hour. lunch was 20 minutes.

if you got the school lunch you had to stand in the lunch line
and were lucky if you had have
10 minutes to eat your food.

why do we study one subject at a time in school and for almost an hour?
