Does more time in school make the difference?
Education Week has a pretty thorough look at the issue of school day length and the sometimes contradictory results of studies about the idea of adding time to the school day or school year.
Some studies show longer school days or school years make a big difference. Others show it has little impact. There is a big national push for more time in school for kids right now. But of course the big unknown is how schools would pay for it.
Would you be willing to pay more to lengthen the school day or school year? Let us know in the comments.
