We go from 7:45 - 2:52

They made our class longer by 2 minutes. lolol

Just gonna let something out thats been inside me for a while.
Our students have trouble with 6 hour days as is. How the hell are they gonna concentrate for 3 additional hours? And what about the student athletes, sports right after school?
My school starts at 7:15, we get out at 1:20. For all of our outdoor sports, starting at 4:30 would be way too late.
IDK about in the UK, I'm in the US, but this would never work in my school

9-3.20 for me. The teacher's union will stike about this but it doesn't bother me. As long as we get a long lunch break I'm fine with it

F**K THAT! 6 Hours is hell. 9 Hours I would blow my Brain out. If they want to teach people who don't do so well improve teaching.

It wont happen it always used to get talked about over here. If it did happen it'd be a lil stupid.

Similar to Mazlow and Taylor's hierarchies of needs for employees... Students will (probably) only work at a minimal level over 9 hours, compared to a more effective "amount learned per hour" figure over a shorter day. So whilst the students might not get as much work out of the way, I'd be led to believe that it'd be of a higher quality if they didn't extend the school day by such a large amount.

Why do you have to go to school for 9 hours.

We don't have to "yet" hopefully, but the government are considering making it happen.

Aye but our school is ran by a guy who both looks like a penguin and is a spastic.

Here's a thought. We in Scotland have a separate education system. This surely would only apply to the rest of you (especially when we will be independent anyway)

I really don't mind going to school each day. I just mind having to wake up early and having to do things a certain way. If only school was like college, where you have flexible schedules and you can actually change classes/courses if you dislike them and replace them with another one. It would be much easier, fun and people will actually be more motivated to go in my opinion.
