[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some Charter already have a long school day and doesn't produce great outcomes. Perry Street prep school day is from 8am til 4pm and the academics are terrible. For DCPS I would say extend the day til 4pm to ensure kids get enough recess/play time in the upper grades.[/quote] With before school, after school, weekend academy, homework clubs ... it begs the question what is the purpose of school and why should children be spending all this time in a school building? Who benefits, or is it for the convenience of parents who have to work and can't afford to have someone pick up and drop off their children at earlier and later hours. If it really isn't going to benefit children academically and there is little research to say it does as most highly effective countries have children spend less time in school already, then lets make it optional.
