me, kids would lose interest quicker than they already do now! coming from someone in high school, the longer day would make me space out more, and become more sluggish and unresponsive the rest of the day. nothing good comes from it.
P.S. I have a zero hour as well, so its not that i hate school, its just that a longer day isn't in the best interest of the students, or techers for that matter.

It would be a bad idea. In high school, I had class from 7:40am to 3:00pm. By the end of each day I was completely exhausted, and still had to go home, do homework, help make dinner some nights, chores, and get to bed at some point. More time in school would be terrible. I'm just glad I'm out of high school, and don't have to put up with any of that anymore.

I think, in general, yes it wouldn't do the students any good to be in school for a longer period of time.
-- especially if these are younger students (grade school, middle school)
If it had to be done--then they would have to do it in such a way so that it would actually be beneficial---such as having a longer break at lunch or a short break before the last class of the day.
I think it could be beneficial for highschool age students if it were optional. I went to a residential high school for "above average" kids who wanted to prepare themselves better for college. We could choose our own schedules and could take anywhere from 6 to 8 classes during a semester. If a student got special permission, he could take more. I took 8 every semester (while auditing a 9th class) and did fine in my classes.. but I was definitely burnt out when I graduated.

They both mean the same thing? They are looking at doing that here and going only 4 days a week to save energy. I think the kids would get pretty tired by the end of the day though.

I would say that it could hurt depending upon the age of the child. But i know a lot of kids in high school who take a zero or a seventh period after school because they need this class to be more eligble in admission for college. but i guess it depends why the child is staying after school
