When you no longer let kids be kids and force them to be overworked mini adults with developing brains, they short circuit. Many U.S. state schools no longer have recess, full lunchtime, physical educstion (P.E.), arts programs, sports, or elective programs. They have shortened holidays and now they want to go to the limited summer and limited winter holidays. Soon they will say, why not do class from 8a.m. to 5p.m. or 6p.m. at this rate. THIS IS WHY KIDS ARE GOING CRAZY!!! They aren’t being taught social skills, they are being taught performance only. Guess what, they’re not performing well over all either. Look at the scholastic worldwide numbers. KIDS MUST HAVE TIME TO RELAX, DAYDREAM, CREATE, PLAY, EXPLORE, STUDY, INTERACT, FAMILY & UNITY TIME. THEY MUST HAVE TIME TO BE KIDS!!!!
Will longer school year help or hurt US students?
