How many hours per day should children spend at school?

I strongly believe that school hours should be kept the same. This is because if the hours of study was to increase the child wouldn't be spending enough time with their parents/ carers which is vital as the parents play a massive part in a child's development on a daily basis.

Not only this but it would put a massive Strain on teachers as they spend a good deal of time preparing lesson plans and if the school day lasted longer the teacher wouldn't have enough time to produce these plans to the best of thier ability which would effect the child's performance.

So why not reduce school hours?

For Nursery school if you have it 3 hours a day ( 3 and 4 year olds) this would be twice a week. For the 4 year olds to 8 year old would attend school for 4 hours 6 days a week. For the year 3's and year 4's would attend school for 6 hours a day 6 hours a 6 days week.The year 5's and year 6's would attend school for 8 hours including on hour for lunch 6 days a week. The Years 7 to 11 would attend for school 6 hours and six days a week. The Sixth formers would attend for 4 1/2 hours for Saturday to Friday 5 days a week.
