schooltime
When lessons happen
Schooltime is the period when school is in session—the hours of the day devoted to classes, or the years of life spent in formal education.
It contrasts with leisure time or summer vacation: We don't allow phone calls during schooltime.
The word often carries nostalgic weight when adults recall their schooltime years.
