Out of hours and school is in

The Advertiser: Out of hours and school is in :

"The stretch is being felt at Glenunga International, Unley High and Adelaide High schools, with Glenunga offering 8am to 8.40am classes before school and 3.30pm to 5pm classes afterwards."

I don't really know how the kids would feel about after hours classes, but it would seem a good idea to help better use of the facilities. You often hear of schools being set on fire or thefts occurring. They are big, expensive buildings. It would be good to get optimum use out of them and it might help if the kids can sleep in sometimes because I think that's what a lot of kids like to do! I have watched how things have changed at home and how the Internet has altered how assignments are done and submitted and how students can contact tutors on the Net. I think our lives have been changed but we haven't actually brought in any flexibility with working hours/school hours. Given the financial investment in schools, there should be good use made of them.
