Longer School Schedules

Decent Essays
The week would be changed to four days long and it will go until five o' clock, so that way the students can learn more each day and get small break intervals. The weekend would be one day longer, but it is not long enough to make the student feel that they are just suddenly pushed into school, and not short enough so that they feel overworked. Longer school days will also allow longer classes to teach so the students can understand the material.Weekends can be a small break so that the kids can plan out the upcoming week, or prepare for the quizzes or tests for that
