School hours

Sevreal counties in Massachusetts are lengthening the school day by 3 hours to improve test scores. Is this right? I think that this is stupidest piece of shit I have ever heard of. adding on more hours will just lower test scores becouse kids will be less willing to learn. thats my take whats yours?

Hell no. That would mean a dramatic increase in suicides.

Yes, I know that joke was probably in bad taste, but I don't care. :p

I think that in the stupidest thing in history. All it will do is lower test scores.

A total of 10 hours and 30 minutes?!!!
Well, that's what it would be if they increased school by three hours where I live.

I'll have to see what the hours total is before I make a decision.

so stop complaining. Now you're like me. a 4.5 hour school day accomplishes nothing.

Hell no! If they raise school hours, no one will learn a thing! Lower test scores! Then they'll wonder why, so thell increase even MORE.

NO!
If that were where I live, I'd be raising holy hell at the next school board meeting.
Especially when I KNOW the vice-superentendant. He was my 6th grade principal!
Here, at OFA, doors open at 7:30. You have to be at homeroom for 7:55. Class starts at 8:00. Then, we leave at 2:55, dismissal. So add 3 hours to 7 hours. 10 hours. We'd get out at 5:55 PM. That suckz0rz.
