[quote=Anonymous][quote]So the goal should be to emulate these countries? Or is the goal to come up with a plan that works for the majortity of adolescents in the U.S.? Why is it that in every debate we have people arguing "If it's good enough for China, India, etc it's good enough for us?" Or "If it was good enough several generations ago, then it's good enough for us." And does this same reasoning apply when we ponder what's best for the adults, or just when it comes to kids? Honestly, I don't think the competitive standing of the U.S. economy hinges on whether we start school at 7 or 8 am. Personally, I'd rather see schools end a bit later, say 3 or 3:30. I'd also like to see a longer school day which allows for more free time to study, seek extra help, etc., in school. My kids attended a private high school with this sort of schedule and I thought it worked very well.[/quote] [/quote]
