[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The school day, and the school year, is too long. School should run end of September through early May. The school day for k-12 should be five hours long.

Quality of time over quantity of time. Saying you sat there for 7 hours just to sit there for 7 hours means nothing. Make the time count. I am not surprised students are burning out in October. [/quote]

Funny. I'm not in disagreement, but have you read any of the thread about schools' no-homework policies? There are plenty of parents who are not happy that their children aren't bringing home work after spending over 6.5 hours in school each day.[/quote]

DP. I think the school day is too long [i]and[/i] that kids should actually get homework.  I also think that block scheduling is detrimental to learning, especially long term learning.  [/quote]

Block scheduling is pretty awful. When I was in high school we had 9 periods and for science/math every other day we had an extra block. [/quote]
