Just asking, because the other day, my maths teacher kept us in 20 minutes longer than our normal 50 minute lesson, because she wanted us to finish our test, leaving us only 20 minutes to have lunch, get changed for gym and go to lockers, and we were all really annoyed. Because we only get an hours break in total during the day anyway (20 minutes break and 40 minutes lunch) she does this keeping us in late thing quite often so I would just love to prove to her that she can't. though she probably can because the world is so unfair.

We weren't mucking about. She just decided to give us an 1hr 10 mins long test. Because shes mean.

Yeah, you guys are all mean. We didn't muck around, and the cafeteria was closed so we didn't get to eat and we didn't 'sow' anything so it would be impossible to 'reap' it .

The amount of time spent on breaks is discretionary to the head teacher or principal, but will generally follow local authority guidelines. To be honest, it sounds like your teacher was just being a ball buster, and if it happens often enough to affect people you should complain to the head teacher as that's unacceptable and does not give you sufficient time to do what you need to like get food etc. If the teacher refuses, ask to have the timetable moved so you're not the lesson right before lunch. Remember she knows keeping you behind annoys you, and that the head teacher or principal makes the rules with the school governors, not individual teachers.
Hope that helps :-)

You must be allowed time to pee and eat. That usually means at least 10 minutes of the break; 20 minutes is ample. Most teachers don't get that (especially if they are keeping you in). I don't believe she randomly gave you a test- that would ruin HER break, so if she were mean why would she do it? Are you sure you didn't miss a warning? Or have you convinced yourself of what you wish happened, rather than what really did. I keep kids if they start a test late because of disorganisation, for example.
The world IS fair. If you break a rule, you need to be punished. You yourself are showing this by looking at the rules governing teachers- well, there are rules for you too.

You shouldn't muck up in class then and you would have a longer break.
When you finish school and get a job you will only have 30 minutes for lunch so enjoy the extra 10 minutes while you can

As long as you're given time to eat and use the facilities, there's usually no restriction to how long a teacher can detain you.
Your specific example seems a little unfair though. I'd talk to the head teacher about it.

In the working worlf somepeople get just 30 minutes, out of that they have lunch, toilet breaks, coffee/tea/cigarette breaks.
It was quite normal at my school just to have 10 minutes in the middle of the day

Life itself is unfair young lady. Get used to it. You have a whole lifetime of unfairness ahead of you! What is the other half of the story here? What would that teacher tell us about her class ethics?

£20,000 to repay debt amassed from failed business corporation. this might propose shall we start to shop for a deposit on a house. The flat we are living in is damp and seeing a delicate on the tip of the tunnel could be a brilliant help.

Sure you've heard it a million time before but 'in the real world'. Enough said. Get used to it.

Nope.
You have no rights at all as a pupil.
Even the HSE don't want to know.
Hey do you actually deserve the rights, though?
Have you earned them?
