Should School Days Be Longer?

Vote now and watch your vote counted instantly!

The President and U.S. Secretary of Education want U.S. kids to spend more time in school. They say longer school days would give U.S. students more time to learn, and test scores would rise. Others disagree. They say how well kids learn is about school quality, not how long school days are. They also say kids have too little free time as it is. What do you think? Should school days be longer?
