School performance is determined by many factors. The majority of the studies on these factors that can influence its level have mainly focused on the quality of the teaching action or the internal conditions of the learning, As far as we are concerned, we consider that one of the aspects that fundamentally condition the school performance is represented by the time factor, more precisely the manner the primary school student can manage the time at his disposal in the best way possible. Thus, our article aims for capturing and x-raying the manner primary school students choose to make the most of their time. To achieve this goal, we used a questionnaire as our main research method and our cross-section consisted of the students' parents from grades 0 to 4. Therefore, we pursued elements such as the ratio between the time spent on learning activities and the time spent on recreational activities, the amount of time spent on activities such as computer games and watching TV related to the time spent on outdoors socializing activities, the existence of a leisure programme suggested by the parents, the structure of this programme and the extent to which it is followed by the child etc. When we processed and interpreted the results we aimed at the best way the primary school child student can make the most of their time and also at the existence of some correlations between the students' background or their gender and the pattern they spend their time.
