Ok as I haven't heard anything of anyone I am guessing that I have supporters who do believe that we should extend school days.

 

Here is an example of what the school day would look like if it was extend.

 

0850-0950 Lesson 1

0950-1000 Lesson 2

1000-1015 Break

1015-1115 Lesson 3

1115-1215 Lesson 4

1215-1330 Lunch

1330-1400 Assembly etc

1400-1530 Last Lesson

1530-1630 After school Activity and Homework Help

1630-1700 Meal Time

1730 Hometime

 

Looking at it this way seems like a lot of time spending in school and not enough of time at home with their parents.

 

Here is an example of a working day for a parent if they worked until 5:30

 

0630 Waking up

0700 Breakfast Time

0730 Getting the children ready for school and doing lunch boxes.

0800 Taking the children to school

0830 Either dropping off to before school club or waiting for the children to go into school.

0900 Work

1200 Lucnh

1700 Finished work

1730 Picking the children up from after school club

1800 Arriving back at home

1900 Dinner

1930 Bath the children ready for bed and help out with children's homework

2000 Bedtime for the children.

2200 Bedtime

 

Now compare this one to the children's one. Looking at them you can see that a full time working parent has a very packed schedule that they need to follow to provide for the family. I am not saying that parents put work over families I am only saying that their schedule is very full on and by having the school one I made it allows lessons not to be rushed and to also allow an club to part of their curriculum and to also have homework help, whilst having a meal (something to keep them going until dinner).

 

This will benefit everyone during the week.

But this is just my opinion.
