Comments about the 180 days? From the Fiscbowl

What a conversation starter! I chose to comment from the Fischbowl about the 180 days of school Post. I do believe children spend a lot of time in school when it is sometimes unnecessary. My son who is in kindergarten starts his day at school when the bell rings and school takes in at 7:30 a.m. and school lets out at 2:45 p.m. and by the time I wait in the line to pick him up we leave the school at 2:55 p.m. I was just telling someone that my son is five and he almost has the schedule of a shift worker, 7 to 3. There is also one half hour in his day where there is nap time.

So there is the issue with how the hours in the day are used and the days of the school year. I definitely feel there should be a way to modify the schedules in school K-12 where at least the days would be shortened for them. Time management is definitely an issue and always has been. Doing something the same way just because it has been that way doesn't mean it is what is best.
