Description
Across the country, an educational revolution is taking root. Kids are learning more. Teachers are free to teach beyond the test. And parents aren t worried about what their kids are up to after school. What accounts for this change? The simple answer is, More time to learn. The current school day 6 hours and 180 days per year is obsolete. It fails to provide students with the academic foundations and well-rounded education they need to succeed and thrive in the twenty-first century. The show more old school day is also out of step with the reality of working families without a stay-at-home parent to manage their children s after-school time. Using an additional one to two hours, the new school day reworks the schedule so that children can master core academic subjects, receive individualized instruction and tutoring, and be exposed to a broad array of topics such as the arts, music, drama, and sports. show lessTags
