Should the school day be extended?

School hours should not be longer for many reasons. First of all, kids will lose their concentration in class, get restless, and probably fall asleep (more than they usually do anyways). Second of all kids need free time after school. they need time to spend with their families, do homework (yeah right), and just chill. School is very stressing! Third, longer school hours could interfere with after school activities (not school related). Sports mostly. Last but not least, this extending of the school day could effect parents' jobs. If they work at night or in the evening and have to pick you up from school at a certain time, they can no longer do this. They will have to get a babysitter or a nanny, if needed, to do some of their jobs/chores ............................ That's another thing chores! I highly doubt anyone will do their chores.
