Most middle school students in the US go to school for at least 990 hours a year. This autumn, some
schools in Colorado, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New York, and Tennessee will add 300 hours to the school year.
Supporters of a longer school year say that kids who spend more time in class get better grades. They
think that kids in countries who spend more time at school or studying are better prepared to start college or find jobs after graduation (毕业).
“Schools need more teaching time if they are going to prepare students to be more successful in the
21st century,” says Luis Ubinas of the Ford Foundation, which supports a longer school year.
Jennifer Davis, the president of the National Center on Time & Learning, says that many schools use
the added time to provide extra (额外的) help, like computer science and music.
However, some people don’t think the longer school year means that students will learn more or get better grades. A recent study by the Center for Public Education found that kids in some countries, including Finland and Japan, do better than US students on standardized tests even though they spend less time in the classroom.
Other people argue that adding time to the school year is too expensive. Many schools simply can’t
afford to pay teachers to work the extra hours.
Tina Bruno, the director of the Coalition for a Traditional School Calendar, says that kids need time
to play sports, take part in after-school activities, and learn new things on their own. “Before lengthening (延长) class time and taking away outside learning chances,” Bruno says, “let’s make every minute count in their present school day.”
