I strongly disagree with adding another hour and a half to the school day. There are many reasons why this would not be in the best interest of the students. These reasons are for both academic and mental health reasons. Students work very hard throughout the day and need to have extracurricular activities that foster creativity and team building skills being a part of a sports team. By limiting these activities by increasing the school day, students will suffer in the long run.
One reason I believe the school day should not be increased is because many kids are athletes. Kids who are athletes have made commitments to their teams, to show up to practice and games. Usually, starting in high school kids have practice right after school.
