Issue 19 Do American Students Need More Time in School
Introduction
I read the “Healthier Testing Made Easy” article by Grant
Wiggins and decided to focus on a current issue of extending
school days. The reason for choosing this issue is to provide
ideas and suggestions on ways to extended school days without
affecting people’s other commitments in their lives. The review
on “Healthier Testing Made Easy” by Grant Wiggins enhances
my focus on how this current issue will affect me in the work
setting in schools. It is very important to know this current
issue will be slightly bad for my work setting. The political
view is that there is a huge debate on extended school days. The
emotional view is there are extended school days can affect
everyone’s performance in schools in emotionally. The
educational view is that everyone must be aware of an issue for
extended school days. Therefore, this paper will analyze my
work setting regarding this issue. This paper will identify the
political, emotional and educational ramifications of this issue.
I will also explain how this issue affects me personally and
professionally in the work setting. Finally, this paper will
provide a conclusion on the reflection share about this issue on
extended school years.
Issue 19 Do American Students Need More Time in School
Overview
If American students need more time in school, there are several
ways to extend school days. The first option is to change the
school hours to earlier times. For example, instead of attending

3. from nine o’ clock a.m. to three o’clock p.m., people can attend
school from seven-thirty a.m. to two-thirty p.m. The reason is
that fall and winter season it gets dark earlier than it does in
spring and summer season. Another reason is that people are
very concern about their safety when it is dark outside. Noll
(2014) stated, “Most school districts adhere to a 61⁄2-hour, 180-
day academic calendar” (p. 309). There are some schools meet
Mondays to Fridays for six hours and have 180-day academic
calendar year. The second option is to extend school hours from
six to seven hours Mondays to Fridays because eight or more
hours of school create negative impact for everyone in the
schools. See Appendix A for a sample of a suggested new
school day schedule for students.
Noll (2014) stated, “Every expanded learning time school would
be a great success. But not every expanded school succeeds” (p.
317). Even if schools have to provide longer school days, it
does not mean this option will work for every school in the
United States. Cuban (2008) stated, “Presidential commissions,
parents, academics, and employers design plans to offer
solutions to expanded school days for students. They are
planning to change the school year to be all school year long”
(p. 241). The problem is how students and staffs are going to
take the holiday and season breaks. However, here is what
happens students are not in school during the summer seasons.
Fairchild (2011) pointed out, “When people are not in schools
during the summer season, it causes students having difficulty
to get back into learning education” (p. 15).
Political Effects of the Issue in Extended School Days
People have different attitudes, beliefs, opinions and views
about the idea of extending school days in political perspective.
First thing, there are pros and cons about extending school days.
The pros are improving learning, have more time to complete
projects, complete homework assignments and benefits for
working parents. The cons of having extended school days cost

4. the schools more money does not guarantee it will improve
achievement gaps in school education. Other cons include
people will not have time for other commitments, such as family
planning and participate in school activities. Second thing,
people say they say they are for or against the idea of having
extended school days.
Noll (2013) stated, “the Obama administration provides time-
expansion goal for education agenda and advocacy groups
including National Center on Time and Learning have gained
momentum” (p. 309). Another words, Obama administration,
and the government is for the idea of extending school days.
However, many people are against the idea of longer school
days. For instance, Sabatino, Huchting and Dell Olio (2013)
believed,
“There are negative reactions from everyone about having the
200-calendar initiative in Los Angeles' elementary schools” (p.
380). Then, there are other people say they are against the idea
of extending school days. Cuban (2008) stated, “Business and
civil leaders criticized the issue extended school days because
they believed American students scored in the middle rank on
international tests. Asia and Europe in longer school days score
higher on the test than American students” (p. 241). Therefore,
schools with longer school days bring major concerns that affect
students’ school performance in education.
Cuban (2008) also believed, “Employers criticize a number of
time students spend in school because they wonder whether the
limited days and hours spent in classes are sufficient to produce
the skills that employees need to work in a globally competitive
economy. Employers also wonder whether our comparatively
short school year will teach the essential workplace behaviors
of punctuality, regular attendance, meeting deadlines, and
following rules” (p. 241). Longer school days affect teachers’
and staffs’ annual salaries and ensuring if they are going to paid
extra money for working work extra hours in schools. Cuban

5. (2008) claimed, “Parents criticize school schedules because
schools need to be open in the morning and to remain open until
they pick up their children before dinner” (p. 241). Professors
have concerns about the change in school days. Cuban (2008)
also claimed, “Professors criticize policy makers for allotting so
little time for teachers to gain new knowledge and skills during
the school day.” (p. 241). These people are against the idea of
extending school days because they are concern about whether
or not this idea will improve schools. Noll (2014) stated, “Most
successful schools have all teachers at work for all of the
expanded schedules may be expensive.
The reason is that not all schools can consider extending school
days, if they cannot afford to do this opportunity” (p. 309).
Emotional Effects of the Issue in The School
People say they are concern about extended school days
affecting their health mentally, psychologically and physically.
Gregory and Purcell (2014) stated, “children as exhibiting
mental health problems, such as anxiety and depression. The
medical model approach is understandable and useful in these
particular cases, for example, concerning the child in the sample
who was being treated for anxiety and depression (p. 47).
Longer school days can also lead to people developing sleeping
problems, which can affect their school performance the next
day.
Second Point: People say they are concern about extended
school days affecting in their commitments, such as family
planning, participating in extra-curriculum activities and
completing homework assignments.
Educational Effects of the Issue in The School
People say how they will know about schools having longer
school days. People also will say this issue extending school
days will improvement academic achievements in schools. Some
people may also say that extending school days may not resolve

6. the achievement gaps in school education in schools. People
want to know ahead of time about the change in school days.
Noll (2013) stated, “Many teachers believe that with more time,
they could succeed with far more struggling students. Expanded
learning time enables students to do more of that hard work
together and with teacher supervision—as opposed to the solo
nature of homework—and allows more intentional efforts to
build school community culture and values” (p. 319).
Personal and Professional Respond to Longer School Days in
School
The first response is to determine how longer school days affect
me personally. During my upcoming period work experience, I
always look forward to changes in school education for the
better, but I feel that I need to have time with my future family
(husband and children). The second response is to determine
how longer school days affect me professionally. As an
educational leader in schools, I would not want to work no more
than eight hours on Mondays to Fridays. The problem is how am
I going to have time with my family and do other commitment,
such as participate with my family in after school activities.
Leadership Perspective on Deal With Extended School Days
As an educational leader, I will address to the schools on how to
deal with this issue on extending school days. The best way is
to determine whether or not schools should extending school
days is to provide interviews to everyone involved in schools to
receive the feedback about this issue. Another way is to
determine whether or not schools should extending school days
is to provide surveys to everyone involved in schools to receive
the feedback about this issue. The final option is to vote for
having extending school days on a voting ballot during the
upcoming 2016 election.
Conclusion
This paper concluded work setting regarding this issue. This
paper identified the political, emotional and educational

7. ramifications of this issue. I explained how this issue affected
me personally and professionally in the work setting. I know
there are many arguments for extending school days. The
prediction is more people are against having longer school days
than other people that are for the idea of this issue. When the
election 2016 happens next year, the results will be presented
after an election on the decision on this issue.
