I don't think you will find there are any lost half hours. The school day is more compact. As Jaysay said used to be start at 9am, finish at 4pm, hour and half for dinner and if i remember correctly morning and afternnon breaks.

My daughters school now starts at 8.45, 15 minute morning break and 50 minute lunch break. No afternoon break.
