I like “Hlaf-Day” school’s program very much,because when I finish lessons i can go to home , do homework and spend my free time with my family or friends.
We think that it is better to start early school because than we have free time in the afternoon and we can do whatever we want. If we start school later and finish later we haven’t got much free time. We couldn’t meet with our friends and go to the parties.We haven’t time for relax.
I like finishing lessons early. I think later start and later finish school is a bad idea. Early start is bad, but early finish school is very good!!!
I’m someone who like to get up early and start work early. So I wish we could begin school at 8am and finish about 1pm. But by the time was have had a form period each day and assembly, the first lesson doesn’t start until 9.15 and then we have a long lunch-break. A lot of time is wasted during the day, in my opinion. Can I move to Poland?
i thin k schoooll is cool as it is cant imagine working any longer but shorter times mean i lose learning time and time with friends
I am not really an early morning person, and so I do not mind the current system. However I feel that an assembly a day is pointless and we should only have an assembly on once or twice a week. It may be more practical for some to have an earlier start, but I feel that no matter when I end I will still have to go back home and do homework. Either way I do the same amount of work.
I would like half days as they allow more time to spend with friends or family but i know that this means that the school would have to shorten holidays too. So i prefer longer holidays to shorter days.
I would like at first study and then only to be in work. Student has got many free time. I like free time. I at that time to relax and to make my favourite jobs.
When I grow up I will be of work in which I would do what I like. This work had to in order to meet my requirements.
Would you like to study in GB. You speak good English already. it would not be a problem for you.
I think that school should start early, at about 8 o’clock.
If school start at 8 o’clock, we will have more time in the afternoon. We can spend more time on relaxing and doing whatever we want.
I like Half-Day, because I finish lesson and I go to house. Later, I have got free time. On afternoom I play the computer and do my homework.
The lessons in Poland starts at 8 o’clock. I think it’s
good idea, becouse in the afternoon we’ve got free time.
I like Half Day because I can go with my friends to play soccer
and my brother and I can play computer games. When I have Half Day
I have lots of free time and I can do what I like.
The Half-day school it’s good idea, because when I go
home and have a lot of time to do a lot of things and
activities.
Early start and early finish is better than later start and later finish. When you come back home early you’ve got a lot of free time in the afternoom. The only problem here is that to start early we have to get up early too. Nothing more.
Good idea is half-day school, because students have got
more free time after school.
I would love to have half-days so I could do more of what I want.
However, with longer school days you can learn more.
So there is advantages to both.
Yeah i agree wit dan there, longer days u learn more but, with shorter days, more free time eh?..I definitely enjoy some of that
I thing it’s goog idea because we have more free time.
We would like Whole-day school because we like long sleep. In Poland is Half-day School and it’s bad idea.
Half Day is very good idea, because I have free time in the afternoon. Then I meet with my friends and play computer games.
I see what you are saying, you love your free time
I think that it could be a good idea if you still have to do the work 
If you want to succeed in life then work is needed!!!
So half days are kind of silly.
Kinga and Carolina what do you mean when u said “We would like Whole-day school because we like long sleep”??
I still have to get up really early and I ahve a full-day of school!!!
:O 
I agree with you. But we couldn’t only learn it’s too hard. in Poland we have got halfdays school but it isn’t silly. and we learn a lot too.
I like half-day school. After school, I have free-time but I must learn too.
I think than “half-day- school” is O.K, because after I have got free time. Of couse I have to learn too=(
Sure, but I think parents like their sons and daughters to be in school in the afternoon. The the parents can work longer. isn’t that a problem for your parents?
We think that it is better to start early school because than we have free time in the afternoon and we can do whatever we want.
I agree – but it is unlikely that we will cahnge to that system. In Germany more schools are now offering lessons in the afternoon. There are always more subjects that pupils need to learn so you need more time to teach them – IT (information technology) is an example. We also have to learn PSHE – personal, social and health education for one or two periods a week. Now the government wants all pupils to learn about ‘citizenship’ .
I enjoy having half days because I don’t have to work as hard and I can spend more time resting at home
I feel a great relief when I return home from school.
