All-Day Kindergarten On The Rise

What used to be three hours of kindergarten is now six. Research

shows that 39 out of 50 states support this new hour change. People felt the

need to extend the hours because the children barely had time for learning

during those short hours. Teachers were able to get educational experiences

such as field trips and learning the alphabet when the people at the

department of education approved all-day kindergarten schools to be

opened.

A majority of voters said that all-day kindergarten schools might have

ranged from $50 to $150 for enrollment fees. Most of the anonymous voters

explained that their experience in an all-day kindergarten school helped

them academically during first grade.

Even though this kind of school hours may be helpful to the children’s

minds, it will also tire the young kids. Children that are aged below eight

years old need their rest frequently or their focus will be gone.

Kindergarteners or young people need to rest for concentration, and how can

they do that when their at school during their usual time to nap. Well, they

can’t.

The quote “It is impossible for a man to learn what he thinks he

already knows,” relates to the experiences in kindergarten because you can

never learn too much. There will always be something that you don’t know.

That is the purpose of kindergarten, to prepare you for the future, to help you

gain the knowledge that you will need.

Education is something that we all need. People who attend longer

hours of school no matter what age they are, end up getting more knowledge

than those that attend half- days. From what my research has told me, eight

out of eleven anonymous voters responded that both types of kindergarten

times, half and all-day kindergarten, will get the same amount of students

enrolled in the future. Two out of eleven argued with the idea of having the

equal amount of students in half days than all-days. Their opinion is that

more students will attend all-days. The last vote went to the idea of having

more students in half-days.

When you become and adult and have kids make sure to consider

enrolling them to an all day kindergarten if you want them to move at a

faster academic speed than other kids. Believe in what your children or

siblings can do. They might be able to accomplish more than you could ever

imagine if they receive the right amount of education.


Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.
