Is there a difference between the expressions "quiet time" and "moment of silence?"?

Do they conjure up different thoughts?

Would you spend the time differently if told one or the other?

It came up during a discussion about prayer in school, which turned to a mandatory moment of silence.

Feel free to discuss what you think about either being used in public schools, but let’s not get into a discussion about prayer in school specifically. Let’s assume school led prayer is not on the table.
