[QUOTE="Mattsmom277, post: 309903, member: 4264"] easy child's school has 2 meal breaks and the students are enjoying the newly designed day. If easy child went an hour earlier and stayed an extra hour or so than normal? It would change activities, like hockey practices etc. Yet if the extra time cut down/out the homework without teachers to help? It would make up for it. I wish someone here in Canada would decide to run with the idea of year round school, with mini breaks (such as March break/spring break) throughout the year. I hate those weeks of getting back to routine, the months of catching back up because they forget so much through the school break. I hate that the kids don't see each other much of the summer. It would for sure be hard for my kids to adapt to a new schedule. difficult child loathes school. He attends without complaint now that he has decided it is a means to an end. But hates school. He'd pitch a fit! Yet once he adapted, I personally think for my difficult child it woudl help him to not break the routine he settles into once he adapts to a schedule every new school year. Its the worst for me watching him waste away all summer then struggle to get back into things in the fall. Hed do much better maintaining the routine. I can see both sides though. Some will love this idea. Some will not be happy about it. [/QUOTE]
