[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kids in DCPS currently have 1,176.5 hours of school a year. (181 days @ 6.5 hours a day) Page three of this document shows the average weeks and hours per year in OECD countries. http://www.oecd.org/education/skills-beyond-school/EDIF%202014--N22%20(eng).pdf Most do have a longer year but they all have fewer hours in school per year. Children in Finland for example have just 650 hours of school over 38 weeks. That sounds about right to me. Here's another schedule showing hours by country and age: http://www.centerforpubliceducation.org/Main-Menu/Organizing-a-school/Time-in-school-How-does-the-US-compare/Hours-of-Instruction-by-Country.pdf[/quote. So how does Finland do in the testing? I mean they spend about half the time our kids do in school. Are they half as bright? [/quote]
