[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]School day should be extended in red zone and provide homework help time during that extra period. That would help on a number of front: 1) help give the kids who need it extra time w/ people who can cactually help w/ the HW and ensure it is done; 2) help draw more middle class families to the east side in order to help dilute out the overall % of high needs kids in the class. [/quote]

The flaw with this line of thinking is that you assume middle and upper income people 1.) want the school day to get even longer and 2.) will drive across the county for schools where their kids can spend more hours at a desk.  Or [i]move[/i] across the county, even, [b]f[b]rom Bethesda to Langley Park.[/b]

Strong SES parents, as a rule, don't clamor for extended school day.  Frankly, their kids don't need it.  [/quote]

Langley Park is not in Montgomery County.
I have heard that many Title I schools serve breakfast to all students in class each morning. Couldn't that also be a homework review time?[/quote]
