just close school at 1:00
Instead of building schools all the time, we could just have
larger schools to begin with, and we could have
city activity centers for parents that work all day, which is most people.
In other words, have the DISD school, teaching 3 MEANINGFUL classes a day, and save all this useless study hall and extra cariculum BS for the activity centers, which would run from 1:00 - 7:00 pm.
You would still have football and cheerleading, it would just be
EXAMPLE: Yellowjacket football team
REPRESENTING: The DISD ACTIVITY CENTER
(rather than the actual school)
YELLOW JACKET CHEERLEADERS
Representing: THE YELLOW JACKET ACTIVITY CENTER
It would still be part of the DISD or whatever district

School hours are determined by your state's laws for length of school day and/or amount of hours needed for a school year. It all comes under the heading of compulsory education, which is also a federal law that dictates that students must attend school until they reach a certain age. Until those laws are changed, the length of your school day will never change.
As was mentioned by another person, if you lived in Europe, not only could you be going to school on Saturdays but also year round. Many foreign educational systems require students to spend MANY, MANY, MANY hours in the classroom as opposed to our American system. If you're a teenager in America, you should consider yourself lucky to have to adhere to our country's and states' guidelines--- you get off pretty easy in my opinion.

You just want to be able to get up later in the day. However you effort if planning out this school should be recognized. Just a few questions. what about dinner times, lunch hours, the cost of the "Activity center", bus system having to run more. And many more logistical questions I do not have time to list.
Just go to school we have all done it, now it is your turn. Your school days will be the easiest of your life. Just wait til you have to have a real job and make money, for a real family and have real kids, who do not appreciate what you sacrificed for them.

If you use study hall to do your homework, you'll never have to take anything home but big projects, and have free time at home. Or read. Reading anything is education, even if it's not curriculum.
Maybe you need to take some more interesting, harder classes.

Quit whining. Kids in Europe go to school on Saturdays.
