Today we're going to have a debate that gives you a chance to comment and give your opinion! Our debate is on the length of school days. Most of us will have about 7 hour school days. In college, you may have 3 hours but we're going to be focusing on the school levels before that.

Yes!

School causes a lot of stress and kids don't get enough time for their work. Also, kids aren't getting enough time to be able to participate in all the sports or activities there are because school takes up so much of the day and everything would have to have be clumped in the little amount of time afterschool. Such long school days may make it hard to focus when all you can think about is that you want to get home. Many kids get bullied, sadly, and shorter school days would help to prevent bullying - less time to bully others.

No! 

Everyone needs their education. Studies show that people who do not have an education have more of a chance of losing or not even getting jobs causing loss of money and eventually that can lead to homelessness. The school days contain the classes you need to take so you are literate. If we take some places in Africa as an example, look how people do not go to school. They have a poor economy and a poor lifestyle. These hours and classes are here for us to learn, not suffer, and later on you'll be thankful that you could actually get an education.

Based on what you've read with opinions coming for both sides, what do you say? Tell us in the comments - please use stuff from the article, not just your own opinion for pleasure (let's be honest, who wouldn't want a little bit of shorter school days?! but the length is giving what we need).
