What's the meaning...

All the tests in the world couldn't teach a child social skills as well as an hour of recess each day.
What does this sentence mean?
  

Top answer

An hour of recess=a break from studies when children go outside and play together. It means recess teaches kids social skills; taking tests (even if they took every test in the world) does not.

A child needs to learn social skills. They can learn those skills in various ways.

The two ways of learning social skills in the example you give are:

1. Giving the children tests (examinations)
2. The children spending time with each other during recess (a break during the school day).

The writer is suggesting that the second method is much more effective.
