I understand what is being said here. I mentioned to my wife after typing this up, that there were a few things I should have included, and didn't. Classes could be more relaxed, and the children given more time to play, and still have a productive day. Especially, if the classes went year round. A relaxed place would take pressure OFF of students and teachers. I do agree that teachers would have a little more time wrapped up in their work, what with prepping, grading, and what have you. You're all right, in that a balance would need to be struck...maybe my idea in its entirety wouldn't be better, but, I feel that in general, it would be a better suited situation for todays kids that grow up "working" 7 months a year, to go to a real life work world that works 54 (Please tell me you catch the sarcasm there) weeks a year.
