i'll have to disagree there. What better place to learn social cues, behavior, and other important social skills than in a room surrounded by your peers? Spending 2 hours at home doing homework every night is far more antisocial than having an in-class disscusion (social studies/english) or grouping into 2's and 3's to solve problems (math). Schools are a major meeting area for peers at the same stage of social development. Just because I feel that school hours should be longer does not mean I feel children should stop playing altogether and just work. Social skills are just as important as technical skills in life, as I learned the hard way some time ago.
