Schools 10 hour day

[Ban-jani]

Maybe they could take on more teachers and split shifts?

I don't know, I'm not really knowledgeable enough with regard how the education authorities work.

Neither is Gove but it doesn't seem to stop him.

Haha :-)

10 hours for a child seems ridiculous to me.

As for sports, orchestras, debating societies, etc - all these used to be lunchtime activities where I went to secondary school.

Think the kids tend to come on Blue Moon nowadays,AG. ;)

Don't think the school debating society ever got round to muffin/barm!

 

[Why Always Ste]

Surely this would need a lot more staff, costing more £££.

I'm all for some of the plans said by Gove, but from my experience with the Tory Bastards - we won't see much of the reforms anyway.

When will Michael Gove ever learn?

(see what I did there)

The man is a complete spunk-bubble. How on earth he expects kids to concentrate for 10 hours and teachers to cope with the extra burden on their already mammoth day is beyond me.

Stupid ****.

school here is from 7.45 til 1pm. Kids then get the option of going to evening classes at a local building/classroom as well as homework. I think this is brilliant as the kids are getting a proper break. 10 hrs, no kid on the planet has the attention span to learn for 10 hrs.

I'm pretty sure the Japanese put a shift in. However you're quite right it would only interfere with the 12 hours needed per day to spend on skype, facebook, twitter and whatever other social bollocks they need to do.
