[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]School would be 7am-7pm 5 days a week. Breakfast, lunch and dinner ... all homework and sports and tutoring is done at school.

School would be 11 months out of the year.[/quote]

I'm a teacher and my colleagues and I sometimes joke that the school system should just adopt our students.  They already spend from 7-6:30pm at school every day.  They get 3 meals a day at school too.  We should just put bunk beds ala Murphy beds in the hallways and the students can just live at school.  That way, all of their needs are met and they can be raised to be successful in school.  They can go on field trips, etc on the weekends so they have experiences they would not get at home.  Screen time would be eliminated.  Right now, my students have been playing X-Box all summer and probably haven't picked up a book at all.  It's sad but there are only so many things "outsiders" can do.  I worry about my students but I need to remind myself that I've done what I can do for them.  If we "fixed" poverty, that would be a step in the right direction but it isn't the only step.  [/quote]
