The idea is a sound one but does it really help the student learn more? I remember back in my high school days when I go to school at 8:00 a.m. and get out of school at around 3:00 pm and I am dead tire already. They can add more time if they want but would it really push more info into the child's brain?
The study also show that while US high school student spend the last amount of days in school but we spend comparable amount of hours in comparison to Asia's high school. This mean while we spend less days in school, we spend more hours per days in a school year. That mean something... time is not the issue.
