[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think facetime is that important. But 3:30 is WAY too early to leave. I still have a lot of meetings in the 4pm hour. I would be upset if my coworkers were all leaving that early. What about putting the kids in aftercare?

This is yet another reason it's ridiculous for the schools to have a significantly shorter day than working parents. Schools need to go until 4 or 4:30 to accommodate parents. [/quote]

School is not daycare, loser.

Why can't people understand that?

And what would a kid absorb after that much learning time? I can't get adults to absorb more than 7 hrs of information in a training day.[/quote]

I think a longer day would be great as long as the kept the instructional time the same but break it up with lots of recess time and a longer lunch.  Their day would be so much more productive if the kids (and teachers!) could have more breaks during the day.[/quote]

I'd love this idea. No more official "instruction" but more free play, arts, music, recess and a longer lunch. Sounds like a dream school day. And much better than what the majority of these kids are going home to: TV, no adult present and lots of screentime. DCUM is typically upper middle class or upper class. You forget that there are lots of poorer kids who don't have opportunities to play outside after school (in the street around the apartment complex?). [/quote]
