[quote=Anonymous]some studies have questioned whether extended learning time yields enough bang for the buck. The National Academy of Education in Washington recently found that by its calculations, every 10 percent increase in time has resulted in just a 2 percent jump in actual learning. Even for those who agree that ELT generates bigger returns, the larger question is how to pay for it. "There's no sugarcoating the fact that it takes resources," says the Center for American Progress's Owen, who estimates that providing 300 extra hours in learning time will increase school budgets by 6 percent to 20 percent, depending on the staffing model. Dan Domenech, executive director of the American Association of School Administrators, takes a more sober view. "Adding to learning time and spending more time on task is a key strategy, but it has run into an economic reality that's going to make it difficult to happen."[/quote]
