Well here in Florida we already have that program in place. Kindergarteners already go a full day. So I am used to it. I dont think it is a bad idea.

Our kindergarten is going to a strange school system---you either go Mon, Thurs every other Wednesday, or Tues, Friday every other Wednesday all day. They are changing from every day/half days to this all day system--it will save them 60,000 per year on busing.

ITA with this. Five or even six years old is still really young, and making them sit in school all day long just makes no sense to me. I think half days are more than enough. It's little things like this that make me very glad we're planning on homeschooling our kids - I won't have to mold to the system when I don't agree with it. ![]() -------------------- |

I am not opposed to it, because I could see how beneficial it would be for parents who work. I don't know how one would work and find the time to pickup a child mid-day, find p/t daycare, etc. But since I don't plan to go back to work come kindergarten time, I have the opportunity to pick my kids up and bring them home. So I suppose given MY situation, I would choose halfday over full day only because a whole day does seem way too long on the kids IMO. And I do believe that too much stimulation, pressure and homework can actually cause some kids to start to resent school as they get older.
