Do you think extended school days
improve children’s education?

No. Keeping students in the building longer won’t promote better learning. But having better teachers and a better, safer environment will.

No. After school we won’t have as much time to do homework and activities. This could lead to sleep deprivation. |

Yes, because being in school will help students stay out of trouble.

I think it would help in terms of violence prevention by giving kids something to do, but I’m unsure of the effects on the actual quality of education. |

Yes. There are so many holidays and late days that students lose hours as it is. Extended days would help them make up for this. In this competitive world, students need time to get a basic education. |

That would be the idea behind it, but as far as keeping students interested, it’s a different story. Only a certain type of student would take advantage of the opportunity. |
