Not all students need more time in class; many benefit from the extracurricular activities and opportunities they have access to outside of school. A one-size-fits-all solution penalizes many students and may further stifle their creativity. For those who don’t have these options or who need more learning time, more school (with effective time spent for learning) often makes complete sense.
So how to accommodate these differences? Look to online learning to solve these problems. With online learning, there is no need to mandate that all students have extra time learning.
