[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not sure how much focus a young child could have for an entire morning of academics.[/quote] This... OP, it is highly unlikely a class of lower elementary students would do any better by spending an entire morning in one room with essentially no breaks from academics. I suggest you spend 3+ hours in one room with 20+ kindergarteners teaching reading, math, etc only every day for a week and then get back to us. [/quote] 1st grade in Germany goes to school from 8 - 11:15, has a break, does art, PE, and music. As the kids get older, some days school goes to 12:15 or 1, with more breaks added. [/quote] So when does the school day actually end?[/quote] Typical school in Germany Grades 1-4 would be something like 8 am to 1:00. Kids go home for midday meal and then that's it - they are home.[/quote]
