I have mixed feelings about this idea.
My granddaughter had distance learning during Covid and the outcome wasn't good. Parents were working out of the home and so their attention was on work, not on the children's learning experience.
At a high school where I used to teach and retired from, the class periods were 90 minutes. This is too long for most subjected and most students, imo.
Taking this into account, it looked to me like the scheduling of classes need a total re-do.
As probably most teachers would agree, the homelife of children these days does not lend itself to success in school. So students arrive to the classroom having no intention of learning and their parents often have no intention of stressing school and learning at home. This lack of discipline regarding school leaves most teachers with no clue as to how to require classroom participation.
Then, I begin to wonder about the importance of the three R's... reading, writing and r-ithmetics are unimportant in many everyday endeavors.
So, everybody in this scenario is foisting the accountability for learning square onto the shoulder of "others".
🤷🏼♀️ "not my fault!" say the students
🤷🏼♀️ "not my fault" say the parents
🤷🏼♀️ "not my fault" say the school personnel
By changing the school week, the schools are putting the responsibility for learning right back into the parents' hands?
