For high schoolers how many hours a day is perfect for school?
78577
Im answering this question from an adult point of view. I work in a high school and there are 8 periods that run about 45 minutes each. There is a 10 minute break in the morning and a 25 minute lunch. Although the break and lunch seem short, they are actually a good amout of time. Any longer than that gives the students time to start fooling around and lose focus. The school day should be well structured and the transition between classes should be about 3 minutes for a smaller school.

well in the summer for high school we have to wake up at 5 am 3 days of the week to go condition. we do bleachers and sprints and jumping drills and things to make our legs stronger. our team took 2nd in state this year and we're a 5A school.

Watching tv = 2-4 hours a week\nOn my computer = way too many [about 2-4 hours a day goofing off (some days), up to about 12 hours a day when writing a paper (which is about 1-2 times a month)]\nAt work = about 5-40 hours per month (part-time)\nAt school = about 32 hours per week (classroom and clinicals)

It depends on who you ask and how their week went.  Check the answers that are posted during the weekend as opposed to during the school week, lol.  :)  \n\nI've been teaching for 3 years and still love it.  There are all sorts of trying days and all sorts of really difficult people to have to work with, for, around, etc.  Reaching children on a personal level makes it all worthwhile.  So do the daily hugs that some students must give you in order to get their day started off right.  With education in the US, there's all sorts of stupid politics and ridiculous testing mandates that can quickly suck the life out of a person.  It's important not to get bogged down.  Not taking your work home with you will help.  I personally love teaching elementary school, but there are days when I long for a classroom full of thoughtful middle schoolers who can have more engaging conversations about the world (assuming such a class exists).  I couldn't handle high schoolers.  My husband is great with them.  They just frustrate me because I know they're about to go out into the work force for good.  \nOverall though, it's fulfilling to the people who put into it what they expect to get out of it.  Best wishes!

Time spent around people outside of our home-schooling household:\n\nAnywhere from 3 to 10 hours in a day depending on the day and the activities that are going on.  Somedays it can be only an hour or two -- but on average probably 4 hours per day.\nStudying takes 4 to 6 hours.  Chores can take an hour or so.  Hobbies, events, jobs, etc take up a big part of the day.\n\nIt's really difficult to put a solid number on any particular day because everything is so flexible and there are many variables.

Well we generally spend 6 hours at school, and with all breaks it equals about 5 hours of actual work. So an average month we are in school for 150 hours. Since we get 2 months of summer break and all other holidays equalling to about a month, we are in school about 1350 hours a year!!!\n\nITS TOO MUCH!!!\n\nGood luck on your project and i hoped this helpped!

Yes.  Students are required to give 50 hours each year to the Community.  We have even develpoed a program for the Middle School to implement.  We are currently having them give 10 hours but, it was so successful we are increasing it to 25 hours!

Well if you are just starting back to school it is probably best to start slow.\nThe reason they advise only 6 units is because of the homework involved.  For every one hour you spend in class you need to study at home at least 1 hour.  If you are taking 6 units then i assume that is 6 hours of class time a week. Plus at least 6 hrs of home work is 12 hrs of school a week plus the 40hrs you spend at work plus sleep and stuff looks like this...\n24 hrs x 7days a week = 168 hrs in one week\n 168 hrs\n- 40 hrs of work\n-   6 hrs in class\n-   6 hrs in studdy\n- 56 hrs sleep (8hrsx7days a week)\nthis all leaves 60 hours a week free ( more or less)\nthat breaks down to 60hrs divided by 7 days in a week 8.57 hrs a day.\nYou have an extra 8 and 1/2 hrs to drive, eat, bathe, dress, you would be surprised how much time these things take in a days time.  I know I wake up at 6:30 and get to work at 8 There is an hour and 1/2 right there.\nIf you think you can handle it,,, go for it, but remember you are paying for these classes and don't want to risk failing one and having to pay to take it over.\nGood luck to you, try mixing it up, take 3 hard classes and 2 easy ones.

Divide your time into blocks, much the way your day at school already is divided.  Have a block for homework, a block for dinner, a block for TV, etc.  It is up to you to stay on schedule.  There will be times when you will not have the time to use the TV block because you have too much work to do.  Likewise, there will be times when you have less homework and can use some of that time to play.  They key is to stay on schedule, everyday, even if you got off schedule the day before.  Good luck!

I think the ideal school would have 30 minute class sessions- not too short that the information cant be taught, but not too long that the students lose focus.  I think that the perfect class size is about 15 people because there are enough people to have great discussions as a large group, and also enough people to break into smaller groups.  Smaller classes allow for the teacher to spend more time with each student individually and no student can "hide" in the crowd.  In terms of number of lessons I think that beyond the usual math, science, social studies that the student should decide how many additional classes that they want to take.  Some students choose to push themselves and they should be able to do so, those that do not want to shouldn't have to.  The ideal school would have state of the art computers and technology.  There would be an olympic size pool, weightlifting room, track to run on etc.  The school should offer a full range of facilities from a fully stocked library to a fully stocked gym to meet every students needs.  The ideal school should also offer accomodations for disabled students, whether they are physically or mentally disabled.  Extra curricular activities?  The sky should be the limit.  Let the students pick and create after school activities that they enjoy.  Let them create and run their opwn clubs after school.  Why lock them into the generic english club, art club, etc.  Lastly, cost in ideal world this school would be free and open to everyone, but unfortunately all of the things that i have outlined cost money and probably lots of it.  However, if taxpayers were willing to take on that cost, it would really help to make the school open to everyone who chose to attend it.
