As a student i believe if school days lasted 9 hours that torwards the end of it would become very hard to concentrate and it would also make it very hard to both do your homework and get enough sleep needed to go through a 9 hour day the next day.

Teaching the Facebook Generation
I think teachers should be free to accept friend requests on facebook from students if they want to.

Online learning
Lots of people do not think online learning is a good idea but i compleatly disagree. I recently came across a list of benIfits of online learning writen by a group of high school sophmores from utah. The list was as follows:
1. I can work ahead if I’m able to
2. I get nearly instant responses from my teachers
3. I get personalized support when I need it
4. My teachers are just as excited about online learning as I am
5. I can do all my math for the week on one day if I want to
6. I know how I’m doing, my grades are right on the screen
7. My parents can see my work and grades
8. My courses are more challenging
9. I can keep up with my work when my family travels
10. I can work around a busy schedule
I think the best part of online learing would be to have the ability to do your work whenever you want so if you were going on vacation with your family you could get all your work don.e in advance so you wouldnt be behind when you returned. Another advantage to having freedom in when you do your school is if you want a job that would normally interfer with school hours you could do your school work around your job, having this advantage would hive you the ability to get the experience you need for the job you want without having to worry if your job interfers with school.
