Yeah I think that's crazy. That's a ten hour school day... most adults don't work a 10 hour day. And I think you just get to a point where your brain needs a rest from taking in all the new info you are handed each day.

So school would get out at 6 pm... if the kids take a bus home that can be a half an hour ride depending where you live from the school... so they would get home about 6:30 or so... have to eat dinner right away and then do homework and by the time they are done that it would be time for bed pretty much so you could get some rest.

I don't think that's going to help kids at all. not to mention the teachers... are they going to get a substantial raise to cover that time and if they also have to come in on weekends so the kids can have a place to go... they have to work 7 days a week?

Highschoolers might be able to handle the extra time... but 1st 2nd and 3rd graders? that's way too long of a day and too much time away from their parents I think.
