I say, the 'shorter' the better...

Or, as my own reminescence would recommend, a three day
'school' week being not-so-good as a 'two'...or better yet
even,
would be a 'one'...as a 'one' really would contain
abundantly ample
room for all such wholesome or ingenuously useful matters as
'school' can
be magined TO have to 'teach'...

Better even yet, a 'One' as occur every other week...and
THAT would be 'plenty' enough...

Dean, Phil:

The American Tragedy we see all around us is that unless children are in
school most of them run around unsupervised. The number of children who
have a parent or similar waiting at home with cookies and milk when the kids
get out of school seems to be melting quicker than the snow on our hills.

I do not think that shorter school weeks and hours are nearly as good an
answer as longer school weeks, and longer school years, and supervised
post-school acgtivities. All you home schoolers --God bless you every
one--are wonderful; but too few parents have the skills, or the economic
possibility needed.
