[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone remember that one year in the 90s(probably 96 because of the Blizzard) where they extended the school day by like 20 minutes every day for the last like 2 months?[/quote] That’s actually genius, but I bet the pushback nowadays would be enormous [/quote] Besides being ineffective educationally,it doesn't work as an alternative to using make-up days. It really isn't complicated. We need at least 185 scheduled days.[/quote] Massachusetts does it this way but it can lead to a June 29 or 30 last day of school if all five extra days are needed. While Massachusetts schools often start later and have three breaks instead of two, they don't have as many religious holidays and don't take a day off for grading after every quarter.[/quote] I liked the Massachusetts way a lot when we were there. Our elementary schools also have one short day a week. 😀[/quote]
