[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't even come up with as many wants as Op has.
I actually want less from school, not more.
The morning meetings and closing circles could be used for recess. I don't care for music or arts, but not going to complain. Wish school days were shorter or again, more breaks for running around. 
We do stay after school to play to make up for the lack of recess.
I would supplement math regardless of school.[/quote]

This. I wish the kids could go to school for the 3-4 hours a day they actually use  for instructional time and skip all of the time wasting. I wish school didn’t double for daycare because I don’t need or use daycare. My youngest got the last year of half day kindergarten in Loudoun and I was thrilled. It was great. [/quote]

You don’t think there was time wasting in half day K?[/quote]

Sure but a lot less than full day K! All elementary grades could complete their learning in 3 hours. The only reason they don’t….daycare. [/quote]

+100! Kindergarten learning is really about an hour long and most of elementary is about 3 hours. Add in transitions (necessary) and you'd probably stretch kindergarten to 3 hours and upper grades to 5, but you could still manage some sort of SACC/camp type environment for the rest of the day to make the "daycare" thing not an issue.[/quote]
