Extending school time~
darkjedi:
Yeah. And that's why I'm not using my personal experience here. But I do use them as a buffer when I analyze corporal punishment from a general perspective, because that's a standard procedure in any research. Called 'case study' or something. And now I'm being watered down by my inability to express my ideas thoroughly in a foreign language. :-\
What I means is, I know corporal punishment personally, but I'm not saying it. Everything I've told you are 'forgone conclusions'; they are all that has been concluded before after many generations of research, and I trust these researches because they are consistent with my own experience. That's how my experience serves as a buffer to me.

Corporal punishment is good for reducing prison overcrowding and in the long run, cheaper than keeping an inmate for life.
But this is WAY off topic.
Correlation does not equal causation, so Jedi, stfu and get back on topic.

I'm concluding that merely extending the school hour is not going to help improve the quality of instruction in America. Something more substantial is needed. I'm trying to look for alternatives. Some others are going for increased pay and less student per teachers; I'm going for the teaching method.
And did you know that corporal punishment is already a causal explanation for Korean's impetus studying habit, as compared to their American counterparts? You don't even need to correlate anymore. It's already proven. The thing is that corporal punishment has its drawbacks too. And the drawbacks is for you to point out; and I hope it's something that I don't know about yet.
And don't just shove in words like these lol:

Prove it.
On second thought, never mind. We might get punched for this. >_>

Here in NYC some district High Schools are overpopulated so school times have been truncated to compensate for the breadth of children that need to be serviced.
As a result I see children in the street at all times of the day, and they are happy because they no longer have to sit in a classroom all day and do absolutely nothing.
Thanks overcrowding!

AP/College level courses keep me busy enough in HS. Lengthening the school day will not make the dickwads who fuck around all day any smarter. It's a useless move, and a lazy move.
