Would longer hours at school help?

[ShindoL Shill]

Being in school I cant really see extending it helping at all. Most of my time is already wasted sitting around doing nothing in school. If we are to truly enrich our education experience, we need to make better use of the time we have.

exactly. the most work i did in history last year was make a bloody poster. plus, my school does our first set of exams (the soon-to-be-obsolete Standard Grades) a year early and we have 7 45 minute periods not 6 50 minute periods. it is not working, and i nearly failed my Graph Comm because of the rush.
i wouldnt be annoyed, but no other scottish schools do this.
more time in school would help in the technical subjects, but all of the other ones would just be a waste of time.

Like I don't have enough trouble focusing on school as it is. Maybe they should try to work on actually making better use of the time they have, instead of adding more time for useless nonsense.

Besides, we can't afford to make days longer where I'm from. For the past few years my school district's been tight for cash, so we've been making use of 4-day weeks. The high school I'm going to will have an early release every Wednesday I think.
