It seems to me the current public school calendar is a bit archaic. I'd like to propose a change that I think would relax teachers and students, and increase performance. I'd also ask you to critique me and make your own suggestions.
Make the school year consist of three semesters. The Spring Semester would begin the second week of January and end the first week of May. Students would then get two weeks vacation and return to school on the third week of May. Summer Semester would end the last day of July and then get two weeks vacation. Classes would resume the second week of August, ending on the first week of December followed by a one month vacation.
3-4 classes per day (3 in the summer, 4 otherwise) 1 hour per class (4 hour in class time) 45 minutes of study time between classes (3 hours study time) 1 hour lunch/socialization period.
The study time would be a period where students sit in a classroom or possibly a library and work on their assignments, with an instructor or two nearby to answer questions when the student hits a roadblock.
I feel that this would give students enough time to engage with the teacher in a lecture setting, with their instructors in a one-on-one fashion during study time, and give them a respectable chunk of time to socialize and stuff their faces. I think that this would show a sizeable increase in test scores and provide ample time to cover all the materials that should be covered.
I'm not an expert by any means, but if I was back in high school or even middle school and had a schedule like this, I could see myself enjoying school and learning a lot more.
