[quote=Anonymous][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] [b]that kids should actually get homework.[/b]  I also think that block scheduling is detrimental to learning, especially long term learning.  [/quote]

Why?

Homework teaches two things - how to do the lesson, such as math problems, vocabulary, etc. and also how to organize, how to organize the afternoon or evening schedule to do homework, how to organize the page, how to remember the homework assignment and turn it in, etc.  How to be responsible and independent. With no homework, kids don't learn these skills as well.  [/quote]
