Benefits
[Link] time for extracurricular activities. School subjects are essential.
Still, discovering new hobbies has numerous benefits for the kids.
[Link] concentration. Shorter days give students an
opportunity to concentrate better, as human attention span is
limited.
[Link] hours of sleep and reduced stress. When kids have spare time, they
can use it to get more rest, which is crucial for brain development.
[Link] preparation time for teachers. Longer school days put more
pressure on teachers, leaving them less time to plan engaging lessons and
restore their energy.
[Link] for additional academic classes. Many kids either want
to learn other subjects or need extra tutoring for schoolwork. More free
time after lessons helps children to pursue this intention.
Disadvantage
1 .Less guided practice. One of the biggest advantages of offline full-
time learning is that kids get more instructional time from teachers
whenever they need it. This allows them to avoid unnecessary mistakes
and learn faster. Yet, shorter school days might result in a smaller
amount of time teachers can spend with every kid.
[Link] pressure on parents. If children have shorter school days, parents
have to come up with other activities for their free time. When both of them
work, they have to arrange after-school activities or childcare. This requires
an additional budget, which creates more financial burdens for families.
[Link] time to build strong friendships. The same issue might happen
with school friends. A full day of school can give more opportunities for
children to bond with their classmates.
