Anyway I agree that the school system should spend more time teaching, and less time handing out homework. DE137's views are a little extreme for me, but I feel that school hours should be longer, and there should be less "down time". I think it'd support more traditional values of family and community, as well as preparing our children for life at an earlier age. Let's face it, the percentage of kids that go to a post secondary institution to continue their schooling is rising vrey rapidly. Soon i feel it'll be a standard to obtain a job higher than menial labor. But getting out at 23 and 24 to "start" your life is too late. We need our children ton understand all these concepts earlier, so the past generation does not have to spend some 19-24 years supporting their offspring. (yes i know there are exceptions, i'm generalizing here)
A longer day, one day a week off, and more in-class learning i feel would provide a much better school environment for kids.
