Should school day be shortened

Answer 1

I think that we should have shorter school years all over the United States. Then we would be able to spend more time with our family. It would be possible to take more vacations too. We would be able to work longer in the summer. We would be able to make more money off of that work. Then we would be able to put more money toward our college funds. Yes, I agree with that. I think also the school would have the layout for the school year planned out more effectively.

Answer 2

No. Schools have no say on the school hours or days. These are set by the state board of education. The schools have to fill out a report counting the number of instructional minutes, passing times, lunch, and recess times to the state. They will even count seconds. In my school my students lost recess time on foggy day schedules. To get the right number of school instructional minutes the school would count the passing time as part of recess on foggy days. This gave my students a 5 minute recess.

Answer 3

Yes because students need time to socialize and hang out with there friends.

Answer 4

Answer 5

Answer 6

Answer 7
