Story
The series focuses on six fourth graders from the Third Street Elementary School in Arkansas and their interaction with other classmates and teachers. In North America, “recess” is the time when school children are allowed time outside in the schoolyard in between lessons. A major satirical point of the show is that during recess, the community of students at school form a microcosm of traditional society complete with its own government, class system, and set of unwritten laws. The schoolyard is ruled by King Bob, a sixth grader, who terrorises younger children.
