I'm only asking if it would be easier having 1 subject a day (5 subjects total).
Of course, including lunch.

School would take forever if it was like that.
And boring...

no i dont think so, you cant have students going to class for 6 hours (average daily school time) just for one subject, it would get boring, and students would grow tired and not be so interested in class. Since there would be a lot of time, there would also be a lot of information that would have to be taken in, students do not want to sit through all this and still have to remember. Its hard enough having good grades when you get an hour of information and store it, what makes you think that getting way more than that can be any easier. Also, if a student doesn't like a particular subject then they can sometimes decide not to come to school that day....and in return they loose a lot of important information. So all in all, attention would be lost, intrest would be gone, students would dread some one particular day, and it would be too easy to forget something. If a teacher wanted to review something they said during the day of their subject, they'd have to wait a whole week to do so, and therefor it becomes lost on the students mind. Homework wouldnt have to be turned in until a week later, so students would postpone it and not learn it as clearly. This idea is not a very good one, and should be thought out a lot more. Nice creativity, but it portrays too many negative effects on the students. It would not improve their grades at all, it would lower them.
but good luck anyways...peace

School is preparing you for the real world and in the real world, you don't just deal with one thing all day. Additionally, as you progress through the grades you'll come to find that subjects don't exist independantly. Art reflects the history of the time, the politics that were present, the scientific knowledge of the day, the literature that was popular...
Everything is connected and the early years of school teach your brain how to figure it out.

It would be easier in that you wouldn't get too much homework per day, but it would be kinda boring learning one subject all day. And by the time you take that subject again a week later, you've probably forgotten everything, so no. That wouldn't be good.

I don't think you have enough to study. Have any of you seen the e-mail that's going around with a test students had to pass to go on to high school? It's from the one-room-school days. There are questions on there I don't have a clue how to answer and I have three degrees.
Kids need to stop whining and get to work. Parents need to stop making excuses for their poor, overworked children. Stop taking them to so many sports practices and cut off the video game time. They can spend that time on homework.
The young adults who take the assessment test for our college rarely score high enough to enroll in college level English and math courses.

Definitely not.
I'm taking two classes a day, two days a week and I'm doing fine.
In high school, my gpa was less than a 3.0 so im not one of the smart kids.
I like going only 2 days a week because it leaves my other days open to have fun!

definately one subject a day and school starts a noon then this whole country would be filled with rocket scientists 5+ subject a day is the reason high schoolers drop out and become losers

Yes, because the student would focus more on the particular subject for the day, he won't have any difficulty studying the subject...

In my school we had 3 of our 6 classes on Mon. and Wed. Then the other 3 on Tue. and Thur. The classes were about 2 hours long. Then on Fri we had all 6 classes at about an hour long..
I thought it was GREAT system..
That was Mt. Tahoma high in Tacoma, WA.

No..I think students would get tired/bored of a full day of one subject.

I think that it is a lot like college and that would be easier for me but not everybody learns the same way.
