School Day Extended to 6 PM

[NJCubScouter 1389]

I think the school day is long enough. I think the school YEAR is NOT long enough. My understanding, or at least the folk lore of the subject, is that in the "old days" the kids needed their summers off to help Dad and Mom bring in the crops. I don't see kids doing a lot of harvesting these days, so I see no need for two months off. But that's a whole other can of worms.

Triple edged sword: Parents would love it, kids would hate it, unions wouldn't allow it.
