What if school was in session 6 days a week?

What would happen?
Would it be better or worse?
Would you want this to happen? Why?

Yeah,but the school year would end early so that would mean more summer vacation


But that also means you would have less time to sleep if it is 6 days.

Yes. You got a good point there. If this was true, people would get a better education and higher percentage of highly educated people.

There was a test in some of the younger classes when I was in school. The kids in the 1st to 3rd grade had long days every day (Monday to Friday), where two of those hours every day was used on helping kids with their homework and letting them play around.
If I remember correctly, it was somewhat of a success, because the kids were paying more attention in class, after having had time to burn some energy, and had had a little help on the harder stuff.
Also help on the homework is s service in the after school institutions, where kids who wants to can get help with the tricky stuff.

Oh, and just wanting to mention: I have not had any classes since 1st of May, and the new school year begins 1st of September.
Basically: Lots of free time!

So if it was a 6 day session, It would be a secess of higher educated people?

Most likely, especially if it is kept all through to highschool.
It will erase some of the pressure as well, just like it would if there was more teachers employed.

And university/college means a lot of homework, bunched of exams, and apparently a lot of free time.

Well I wouldn't mind for a while, but it might mentally wear me out.

Well, I had no vacation in the holidays, so I guess it is both good and bad.

And for people who think it would wear them out:
It would probably not be like the regular hours, as there would be more time. There might be a possibility that you could take a break for half an hour and get back in, but of course that would just work in the ideal school, with more teachers, I think.
