“I think they go to school long enough. They shouldn’t have to stay for an extended period of time.”

“Maybe shool days could be longer, but they should be balanced out with other activities such physical education, and things like the arts.”

Michele Haszard
“I think not really, let kids have a childhood, but I do think they should have time for PE and recess and that’s not happening. I think to increase the academic time is a mistake.”
Joshua Patrizi
“I think first off that kids should stay in school and not drop out. But I don’t think they should have to stay in classes for longer hours.”
Andrew Feldkamp
“It’s really not the hours, it’s the quality of education. If schools are effective, there is no need to extended hours.”
