[QUOTE="svengandhi, post: 310004, member: 3493"] I would be in favor of a longer school day IF there was no homework given. Frankly, my kids get home by 3:30 and do nothing until I get home between 6 and 7 and then I have to do the HW with them. I'd rather have them in school till 5 or so and then come home and have a nice dinner and relax with them. Long term projects would be OK because they do need to learn how to budget time. As for Saturday, it won't happen where I live - too many Jewish people like myself would have a fit. I'd send my kids on Sunday but then the Christians would get upset. If school was an hour and a half longer every day, they probably wouldn't need to shorten summer vacation but I would like to see enrichment classes available so kids could get ahead. I have always found it unfair that only not so good students get the benefits of summer school. [/QUOTE]
