Would a longer school day help you learn more?

Officials are talking about moving the 3 p.m. final bell to 5 or even 6. What do you think?

Maybe if it's optional yes, but I think we should drop the useless classes and we'd get a lot more time to work (like no more option classes or gym)
I HATE SCHOOL!!! ):

I think this is a good idea but it should be only 1 or 2 times a week and only for the kids getting c's and below for others it should be optional. But it can get in the way of after school activities.

This is absolutely ridiculous! School is already bad enough!! My friends and I always compare it to prison! You eat when they tell you to, you go to the bathroom when they tell you to! Next year I have to start getting up at 5 in the morning just to get readt to go to school. I will definately not tolerate being at school for 9 or 10 hours.

NO! NO! NO! OUR SCHOOL DAY IS LONG ENOUGH AS IT IS. We have a long school day, we have lots of homework and extra after school activities we do. We also have our social lives and facebook is adding to that. With school in the way as it is, I barely get any sleep. This would make things SO MUCH WORSE. I would seriously make my parents homeschool me if this happened.

thats terrible! so many kids dont get enough sleep and dont stay awake in school and having later hours would add to it if you get home at 6 then have like 2 hours of homework plus sports youll be getting even less sleep!!

MOD MOD MOD:
Today my BGF/crush was being rude. He does this all the time,he'll flirt one day & then ignore me the next. Anyway,he threw something at me and it hit me in the nose during class,(in a playful manner,or so I think)and then he said "Maybe if your nose wasn't so big I wouldn't of throw it at your nose.". He always says my nose is big on days like this when he is being rude/ignoring me!! And I said to my other friend when he asked why he said that,"He is insecure about his size so he puts people down to make himself feel bigger.". And then my crush/BGF was being cocky and saying that "I loved him." and "I wanted to SEE him prove he wasn't small." if you know what I mean. What should I do!?

 

Ignore him back! People (boys and girls) always do that with people who have crushes on them. They love the attention so they'll flirt but then they'll ignore or be mean just to flirt more or because they dont 100% like you back. So its easy / fun to be a little mean. Im not sure if this is completely making sense. But besides that just ignore him back! If he can be a jerk towards you just ignore him and he'll want your attention again. Good luck girl! xoxo kerra

I hate school. I feel like I'm always alone, like, the loser in the back of the room. Im really shy and just saying hello to someone takes a 5 minute self confidence talk. I'm sick of it so much! Going to school, mainly the 5 classes where I'm alone, is horrible. Days like today make me wanna cry. No one bullies me, I just feel left out. Next year is high school and I don't want to feel this way. Please, oh please, help me be more happy and less alone. 

 

Hey girl, I was mostly the same way. Honestly, the best thing to do is make yourself join a sports team or an after school activity. Immerse yourself in a group of people. It forces you to talk to other people. That's what I did, and it helped me SO much. Go for it girl, you have nothing to be afraid of, trust me! =]

That is a terrible idea!! School is already hard enough and there is way too much homework. After staying at school till 6, the last thing I want to do is homework. I get around 2 hours a day and I'm only in seventh grade!! High school would be terrible! Also, kids who do sports won't have enough time. Canceling sports would take away a fun way for kids to exerciase, instead of gym class runnning killer laps.
After a long day, kids could also stay up late doing something (like playing on the computer or something for a friend) that they couldn't do before because they had school work. Then kids would get less sleep and that causes even more stress. I read somewhere (I don't remember where) that some kids actually got sick from so much stress from school work. Kids need time to relax.

NO!!! I dont think this is a good idea AT ALL!! our brains would tire out by the end of the day and we wouldn't be able to think straight! Our grades will just grow down with all the pressure and over thinking. Teens and Tweens need time to socialize and relax to refresh their minds for the next day!
