Schools consider increasing hours {ParentDish}
Feb 25th 2007 12:04PM From a teacher's perspective, who is also just now the parentof a college freshman, the extra hours do seem ominous at first. My son's HS had block scheduling and I almost never saw him with "homework." I can definitely see the extended time as a benefit to certain middle schools (I am a middle school teacher) in the less-pressured learning time and reduction in homework. Our school provides after-school programs that serve some students but cannot accommodate all. Extended time, with teacher's having an option to serve, can be a viable solution to low-scoring performance. We HAVE to test. But teachers also want students to learn to the extent that they are able to apply that knowledge to real life and become productive parts of our community and society.
