Why Do American Schools Have Such Long Hours?

- The structure of America’s school calendar may seem counterintuitive-and in many ways, it is. In this episode of School Myths by The Atlantic, we investigate some pressing questions, such as why American students have long summer breaks between school years and yet such short gaps between each class.

*America doesn't seem to understand that it's quality not quantity.*
thanoschan that America for you. From our products to our lives, it seems to be all about quantity. It’s a common problem I’ve been seeing lately.
Umm actually, Japan and South Korea technically have more quantity in terms of hours...

America isn’t a country it’s a business
it’s a money making system.
Yes 7 hours of school,
Then another 5 hours of homework
That’s the problem.
S.A.M's Art well then we can both agree it’s a problem
BowMaster in all honesty I’ve settled for decent grades and better quality of life than spending 5 hours trying to get a minimal improvement

i'm not from the united states, but i used to go to a school which started at 7:30 a.m. and ended at 4:00 p.m., i didn't live close to it, so I always arrived at my house at 5:30 p.m. due to the traffic, and then I had to spend until 7:00 p.m - 12:00 a.m doing homework, it was terrible. i don't understand why people think that spending more time at school will make you smarter, that only made me more stressed tbh
I agree. I’m from the US and where my cousin to live took them 2 hours to get to and from the closest school that wasn’t falling apart and had a suspect of a murder principal.
I'm from the us and my school ends at 2 pm, not 4 pm
I used to be in america and my school started at 8:30am ended at 3:30pm

“In Japan and South Korea, they have higher test scores than the US."
yes, but Japan and south Korean schools are very difficult, also their suicide rates are some of the highest in the world. 💀📈📊
The SATs are so easy compared to theirs
That’s not the point, US also ha some of the highest suicide and overdose rates in the world and even higher for teens so the fact that schools that are much harder still have around the same suicide rates as the US which is not as hard as japan or South Korea’s school is very scary
@Angel S have you ever heard of Hungarian parents? I've got a A+ but I made one mistake. I was dead.
Angel S South Korean and Japanese schools are stressful and difficult, and Asian parents are an example of that mindset

Lol in India a student commit sucide every hour for getting low marks that's equal to 24-30 students per day!! (depending on the exam time it may even rise to 100 sucide/day!!)
The most stupid thing is that even a 12y/o student commit sucide for getting low marks!!!!🤦(not fail mark).
That's the worst than any other country in the world!!!!.The education system here is a million time worser than that of the u.s. here we have 10hr class with only a hour break less and daily tests!!! Even students here have more white hairs due to stress as low as 12 years got white hairs!!!!we have Sunday class and even very very less holidays😭😭.
The schools here are no less than hell😭.
Japan and South Korea do well academically but have you seen their student suicide rate?
lol
The pressure is too strong

Here’s the hit, Finland school system outperforms every other country in the world. They have very short time school, teachers get a decent wage, homework is nonexistent, and they focus on collaboration instead of competition.
:O
We have homework. Sometimes more, sometimes less
So basically, they actually respect and value teachers and in turn *actually* prepare student for the real world where collaboration is often critical for success. They also respect that kids need time to be kids. Dang. Can we get a finnish school in the US?
Not only do teachers get a decent wage in Finland, teachers there are typically the cream of the crop, academically speaking. Here in the U.S, top academic students typically go into fields like law, medicine, or business. Teachers, on the other hand...well, let's just say it's not quite as discerning a field.

To be honest I strongly believe schooling 5 days a week is very exhausting. It should be 4 day school with 3 day weekend. Humans need to rest you know..
Yeah 4 days and 4 hours of school per week
School: *no, we should give them more time in school, so they can be more educated*
Me: 😒
2 days of weekend is actually enough if we didn't have to spend half of it on homeworks

Rowan J Tatum yes i am offended by these ungrateful lazy whiny boys
2:29 LMAO if you think school lunch looks even remotely like that, then you have never been to an American school... our lunch is practically just a small pile of colorless sludge
Wait, couldn't you just bring your own lunch? In my country the cafeteria is basically like a food court with multiple stalls, so we can choose our food. Students can choose to bring their own meal as well
@@canned_can_chan4590 Yeah. Many people do, but not everyone can afford it.
Except tater tots and chicken nugget day, those things are worth their weight in gold
My school just gives us a little fast food every day, with no sides or drink.
American school lunches are practically run by big companies providing huge amounts of money and food to schools so the kids grow up liking that food, ultimately a profit for them. It's disgusting, and one of the reasons American children seem to have such small palates in general.

Is this a Username 45 minutes?! We get 15 at my school lol.
I'm a french high school student. France is known to have the longest schooldays of all Europe. I personally have 9 hours per day, I start at 8 and finish at 18 with 1 hour brake for lunch. Obviously, clubs don't exist and we have 2 to 3hr of homework per night. Lost of french students criticize this system but nothing has been done. We must change things because more and more students have burnouts and depression.
Just finished my final year of high school in France. I had class from 8am to 6pm on Mondays and Tuesdays, from 8am to 8pm on Thursdays and from 8am to 3pm on Fridays. I also had class on Wednesdays but just in the morning (8am-12am). Some days look like they are very long (which they are) but I usually had a 3 hour break just before or after lunch break that I used to do my homework for the afternoon.
I had longer days at school but also had more time to do my homework in a proper work environment. I could complain about ending late, having to take a long train ride back home but I honestly feel like I had it easy.
With the new French baccalaureate you can choose your “specialities” (main classes). Normally during your final year in high school you should have a 2 hour break plus a 1 hour lunch break three times a week thanks to this new system of specialities. The real dealbreaker are “options”, extra classes that you have to sign up for the whole year but aren’t obligatory. I took the option expert maths which added another three hours of math from 5pm to 6pm on Thursdays to my already existing 2 hours of maths in the morning. Other options such as Greek and Latin have class hours during lunch hours so you only have 20 minutes to eat.
That all sounds ridiculous but it’s not obligatory so really you can control your timetable by choosing the correct options.
Then again it all depends on your school.
France is communist to begin with. I'd not even go there and leave the country. That's not education but slavery.
@@littleastro7948 Dang, that is why my French exchange partner said they start at 8:20 and end at 17:00. Here in Spain (almost every school I know except one) starts from 8:00 am to 2:30, so 6:30 hours minus 30 minute recess.
Lies again? Work with less hours with higher rates
1 hour of lunch break is crazy
“Kids in Japan and South Korea spend less time in instructional learning” then these kids leave school, go to cram school for hours, or study for most of the day until they go to bed. Lots of factors not considered here. Same for China. Majority of kids there study 5+ hours a day.
@Sparkle Hallucination sparkle it’s not the same in America, kids in America can actually have a life outside of studying and play games or watch tv for hours. I live in America, and as someone with 8 extracurriculars, I can still have some time for other things.

It should be "no one in my class ever pays attention". I guess you're just really dumb if you've been paying attention and can't figure simple grammar out. :(
Schools were created (at least in America) in the time when people needed to be trained to work in factories, and schools really haven't changed. This made it so that schools have focused on having obedient people who listen and can work for long amounts of time, while in the modern world, people need creative, communicative people.
Edit: Correct me if I'm wrong.
The modern world needs people who are creative, communicative, AND can also focus, work, and listen for long periods of time. The "obedient" part has softened a little, but the rest still remains. People who are creative, but can't focus for long periods and listen, don't really succeed except in maybe a few odd cases like artists or musicians.

I honestly support the homeschooling idea. If there’s something that I don’t understand in class, I could go on RUclips and look up a video related to it. It’s so much easier, simpler, and faster.
Um, while I think RUclips is a great thing, trusting it for you education is about as crazy as when I hear kids say, "Just ask Google". When I (seriously) explain to them that Google isn't a person or a thing, it's positively disheartening. I tell them that you can't "ask it" anything, that it is just a big index full of other people's ramblings, whether they be right or wrong or total crap. I tell them they will have to study numerous sources and articles and evaluate whether any of it is the truth. Their eyes glaze over and I know in their brain they are thinking, "I'll just ask Google".
Even someone like me, who likes learning, sometimes you just need time to chill. We need personal space and time to be human beings not dogs running from class to class.

"Why Do American Schools Have Such Long Hours?"
Looks at China
*Looks at every Asian country*
I think teachers fail to realize that we are lacking because of excess work that causes too much stress for us. Increasing work is just adding more stress. More work = more stress. More work = more homework. More stress = less quality. Less quality = bad grades. Bad grades = bad habits. Bad habits = a bad life. Trying to push these things on 4th grades is actually mental considering people in other countries feel our stress once they are in college.
Inspiration _ I’m stressed Also when they give us mounds of homework and expect us to do it in one night and then spending all night doing it and therefore we become sleep deprived and don’t pay attention in class. THEN THEY SCOLD US FOR FALLING ASLEEP OR NOT PAYING ATTENTION. I’M LIKE I AM LIKE THIS BECAUSE I HAVE SPENT ALL NIGHT DOING *YOUR* WORK AND MY OTHER WORK ALL NIGHT SO I WOULDN’T GET IN TROUBLE!!!!
I was a good student who did their homework immediately after school was over. I did every homework assigned and was careful with my work. Around sophomore year, I began to become stress with the increase amount of work I had to do ( Took ap world history to gain some college credit, it was fairly common to take an ap class in my school). Junior was the worse as there was increase in ap classes (one was 0 period). By senior year, I was burn out and often sleep deprived (most of my friends and peers often sleep 4-6 hours a day). The way highschool system are seted up and scheduled makes it a lot harder to concentrate on these classes. The ap classes I passed weren't an easy breeze, there was a lot of homework, studying, test, additional after school help to pass some of them. In college, it is so much easier to deal with. Yes you have to put in the work, but you choose your schedule. Classes are often longer than 1 hr, which helps your overall performance in class due to spending more time with it in one session instead of per day. Less homework, more lectures and time to study. You get more break (no wasted time and restriction to be at school). I now have less stressed and I'm better at taking in the materials. I'm glad I did my time and gained college credit (don't have to take those classes again in college), but idk if it was worth the stress it gave me.
A lot of it isn’t even the teachers though, it’s the curriculum they’re forced to obey (except for those teachers that try to torture you on top of that)
Inspiration_ you just explain my whole school life. I have all the knowleage but I get a ton of homework. I almost failed my first half of the year (semester) because of the amount of homework I got. My class was almost begging for less homework because we have lives and it isn't all about homework. P.S: I am Australian so you American can't use this as proof to change your law.

Honestly, there’s only one teacher who can actually help me understand things the first time, and only sometimes I need extra help. And that’s my math teacher, believe it or not. Last year I was in honors math and I was so flipping stressed. My then math teacher had a lot of honors math students but only like 23 got in honors math this year, and that’s a major downgrade. So, shout out to my current math teacher cause she’s awesome
My school here in the philippines starts at 7:30am so students would usually go to school early like 6 to 7:29am then the time our school ends is 3 o'clock but every friday we leave school at 4 o'clock for our clubs. It is really stressful because we have to do many assignments and PTs. However, this online class, our school was generous enough to give us a much better schedule but the down side is that we have too many assignments and PTs that we can't handle.
Yeah y'all spend longer in school and leave with a lower education level what's that about
orli porly It’s the atmosphere of the classroom. If nobody wants to learn, then that causes the people who actually want to do well to seem like complete losers.
It's boring and nobody pays attention simple
Its called being stressed out for 8 hours straight
recently, i have heard that american high schools are implementing a new standard: administrators should not care about the student's personal problems.
it's not hard for me to believe. seriously, what is the ratio of students feeling chronically depressed vs the ratio of students finding comfort in class?
It's called laziness, the students and of course the teachers. When someone wants to be better, like studying, everyone else mock that person. When someone want to change the system, the others shut their vision. See, lazy
So that teachers can baby sit "students" while parents are away and working.

@@smallknuckles5708school will never be too long. You either have no time management or take too many extra courses/activities. Of course, if school was shorter, it would make those extra activities fit in your daily outside of school schedule.

Usually they teach these in homeroom and advisory periods, but yeah, I agree that management should be taught in grade levels that you start to lose time - like late middle school.

The ‘learning’ in my school (US) is incredibly inefficient. For example people immersed in a foreign language can become fluent in a month or two, but I took Spanish for 3 years and nobody in our class could actually converse with a native speaker. There is no incentive for classes to teach the material in an time efficient way. The vast majority of the time in school for me is spent literally sitting and waiting, or doing monotonous tasks that don’t contribute to learning at all.
AND they don't really press the learning of foreign languages until high school, when the prime age range for learning such is closing
oh, and even in just plain english classes kids are at a loss. I got to college and was doing a peer review and discovered that my classmate had no idea how paragraphs worked.
@@infinite4392 Not to mention in most U.S. schools, foreign languages are taught in a way that does not encourage actual interaction or usage of the language. Students basically have to memorize vocabulary lists and conjugation rules.
@@lflagr i mean you're not wrong. You also rarely have native speakers teaching the languages.
Whoever’s in charge of us seem to forget that we have one life, and need to enjoy it.
The misery is the goal. These people are seriously sick and sadistic.

I hate being forced to study. It really isn't helping anyone at all.

In Russia -and other countries once part of the Soviet Union-, they do way more homework, almost one for every subject every day, and they don't have some of the breaks we have. If I remember correctly, they don't have one for Halloween, November, -not completely sure about this one- Easter and whatnot. They have ones for Christmas though.
So while yes, this sounds appealing at first, she you consider all those things above, maybe 6 weeks is better.
I know this since my parents tell me how hard school was for them in Latvia -once part of the Soviet Union and they studied around the time it collapsed.
15 minute for every 45 minutes sounds like a dream. We don't have ANY breaks, and if we did, we'd have a 30 minute break for our 1 hr 30 min classes.
Kelly He I think this depends on the state because I live in Maryland and we don’t have breaks like that. We just have 5 minutes to walk to our next class😬
Same here
In Slovakia we use (or used, it is already 7 or 8 years I attended high school) similar system.
Most common schedule (for high schools) was 7:10am to 1:30pm / 8am to 1:30pm / 8am to 2:45pm (with 30 minute lunch break from 1:30pm to 2pm).
Not to mention we had breaks basically every 45 minutes like this (it's class number and appx. time/schedule):
0 - 7:10am to 7:55am
1 - 8am to 8:45am
2 - 8:55am to 9:40am
3 - 9:55am to 10:40am
4 - 10:55am to 11:40am
5 - 11:50am to 12:35pm
6 - 12:45pm to 1:30pm
7 - 2pm to 2:45pm
8 - 2:50pm to 3:35pm - though this was was super rare to have and was more used to substitute other classes if they weren't taught/were skipped for any reason.
ᴀɴᴜʀᴀᴅʜᴀ ᴍ. 5? We get 1
I have 100-200 minutes of class 10 minutes break, then 150 minutes class and 25 minutes break, after i have 150 minutes of class and a 15 minute break. Then i have 100-150 minutes in school and then i leave.

School does nothing but prepare you to trade your time for money for the rest of your life. Work hours are long so school hours are long.
BOONIQUE that’s what a traditional office job calls for, who said all jobs are like that?
Indeed. They make you go by the book so much that they kill your creativity, they kill your hopes and then they get you ready to go to a career then get a job then get a wife then have a dog then have children, retire and die. School has to change man, it's the XXI century.

That’s so short!
Teachers always say to get good sleep before a test but assign so much homework that it’s not possible to do so, much less have a personal life.
In my school some kids don't get a lunch period which is awful. We wake up at 6 in the morning and school starts at 7:25 and they expect us to listen, takes notes, participate, and take tests without a break, socializing, or eating
I don't think that's legal. Schools are required to let students eat during the school day. Tell somebody about that.

From Germany: My school never ended at 1pm after 4th grade (Grundschule). Normally I was done by 4 pm, but it depended on my choice of classes. Sometimes I was in school until 5:30 pm. Start was at 8 am. At 1 pm there was an hour break for lunch. Between every 90min class were 15 min break to switch the rooms and go to the toilet. We didn´t go that much homework (30 min on average), but we had quite a lot of projects and presentations to complete at home.
In my NYC middle school, my schedule is: 6:55: wake up
7:00: be done 7:05: get my dog out 7:20:walk to bus stop
7:27: get on bus. 7:42: arrive at school 8:00: be let in. 8:00-8:17: get to homeroom.
8:20-9:02: 1st period, 9:05-9:47 is 2nd period, 9:50-10:32 is 3rd period, 10:35-11:17 is lunch, though we only have 20 minutes to eat.
11:17-12:02:5th period 12:02-12:47:6th period 12:47-1:32: 7th period or “talent period” as most of my talent classes happened in that period.
1:35-2:20 is 8th period and dismissal time. And most periods felt way longer than it must.
When I was in high school (3 years ago) we went for almost 8 hours with minimal breaks and less than an hour lunch. I then had 4-5 hours of homework. I live in Texas. It was a horrible experience. I will say, though, I got to University and it’s so easy. Time management skills are ingrained. But with that being said, I had issues at home in high school and that combined with working and school made me a zombie - I don’t even remember much from those 4 years.
Exactly when I went to school it was 7-5pm since I did sports year round every day. Then there was homework. I was a robot
I have a 27 minute lunch and block classes that last for an hour and a half! XD
I am in my second year of high school and I am trying to get a good experience out of it, but at times it does not work out. I live in Texas as well and my school is like yours: Go to school for 8hrs, only having a 33min (12:35pm-1:09pm) lunch, but I am in Yearbook club so I don't eat lunch during my lunch period; I actually eat (if I even feel hungry) my next period (7th). We only have a 5min break in between classes but that's just me hurrying to my class since they do tardy sweeps time to time (which means after the tardy bell rings all teachers are required to lock their doors and to not let any students inside of their classroom), whoever is caught in the halls during one gets Saturday School. It does get extremely tiring and stressful especially if you want good grades, I am a program already to get me ready for college and took my PSAT last year and this year to get ready for the actual SAT. I am getting myself ready also for the ACT, and will most likely be taking dual credit classes next year to fulfill college classes since that is my goal. After all of that, I have never slept in class as much as I have this year only because of the pressure I put on myself. With the long hours of class time, minimal breaks, and no time to proper eat, I feel like school is draining my body, but I push through it even when it hurts to the part when I feel like giving up.

Ashes H exactly same I'm n in middle school

in australia, we start our school year in late January/early February. most schools start at around 8-8;30 in the morning and finish at around 2:30-3 and we have to bring our lunch and recess to school. we do this all year round with a 2 week break in April, July and September. we finish the year with a six week break in december to january. this is for all school grades from Kindergarten to Year 12.
I grew up in East Germany where you usually always had lunch at school. Since in the GDR both parents were working, schools offered warm lunch at school and this has continued to this day. States in West Germany now are also adapting that.
Oh, and don’t forget the big projects you get for homework on the weekends at random intervals, not letting you make any plans for anything on the weekend and still get good grades.

My school moved to a 4 class day with hour and a half long classes, and we switch out the topics every day. So on Day 1 I have Economics, Forensics, then lunch, then algebra, then advisor (basically just a 30 minute break) then study hall. On day 2 I have intro. Physics, comp1, strength and conditioning, then lunch, then advisor, then Spanish 2.
I love it.
Here in the Philippines, a typical high school student wakes up at 4 or 5 am, prepares at 6 am, starts classes at 7:30 am, 15 minutes break and end the class at 5:30 pm to 6:00 pm. When there is an upcoming event, we prepare at school so usually we go home at 8 pm. Then after, we do the chores and study for about 4 to 6 hours only to get half of our desired score the next morning.
I am so used to it that I didn't even realize how I traded my life for 90+ grades. Too young to be too stressed. 😭

I don’t care about how long a school day is... I just wish all the teachers were competent. I’m failing Latin because the teacher doesn’t prepare us for tests and barely teaches things, going over them once, very briefly, then going back to reading through the book. He’d teach better if he dissected the things we’re learning, rather than expecting us to understand fully something talked about a little in the books in Latin. At least the stories are entertaining- there was one story about Grumiō, a chef who works in a banker’s house, who was drunk and when he came home saw a painter decorating a wall with a painting of a lion and ran into the kitchen freaking out and warning the banker’s son about the big lion in the atrium.
EndertheDragon0922 are u taking the Cambridge Latin Course? (skinny red textbook with caecilius on it)
bridge yup! I think most people are, then, as my latin friends from different schools say they use those too
EndertheDragon0922 Im in my second year and thankfully after the eruption of Pompeii we get new “characters”
Salve!
EndertheDragon0922 salve! It’s a shame he’s incompetent in Latin, it was one my favorite classes because my teacher taught it very well and made it fun for us.
During school I feel like I’m in a stressful job where I have no payment and homework feels like overtime with no payment
Slavery at its finest
I thought the current, long school day was for the babysitting of the children, because so many households have only one parent caring for the child; and that parent has to earn a paycheck to be able to pay for food, rent/mortgage, clothing, etc. That the children actually learn enough, in the public school indoctrination warehouses, to be wise, is a myth.
I wish I could just homeschool myself with RUclips. Honestly, it would teach me better than my own teachers.
Edit: holy crap I just noticed how many likes this has, didn’t expect that lmao
Geneve Andersson Yeah, I feel like I learn more on RUclips than in school.

Ben Dover you can give me 10 hours of school and no homework but if it’s 1 hour of school and homework I will hate my school
my class starts at 8:20 but my school has breakfast so everyone goes there from 7:30 to 7:45 AM. And then class ends at 3 PM, except some students have afterschool programs or detention, so students usually get home at 5 PM. It honestly depends on how long you have detention for or your afterschool program. Every afterschool program is at least two hours long, depending on what type of program it is, sometimes it could be 1 hour. For instance, I go to choir and band, meaning I have one hour after school for choir, and then one hour after school for band. Sometimes I go in the middle of the day but I like going after class, makes me feel like I can actually relax for once and do something i actually love. Bussing students go early, so sometimes I go on the bus, meaning I get out at 2:30 PM. But those are on days that I don’t have afterschool programs
i’m in middle school by the way, but my school goes from K through 8 so everyone has the same schedule.
it’s also very bad on snow days and for kids who have to walk home. This wasn’t in my school but one day when it was snowing really bad, some students from another school got home at 11 PM. It was really bad
It wasn’t bad when I went to high school other than having to get up at 5am. School started at 7:30am, but we only had four blocks (classes) and each would last and hour and a half. We were out at 2:47pm and rarely had homework b/c we done it all in class. If we did have homework, sophomores, juniors, and seniors would use their hour long lunch break to do it.
where did you go to high school??because I envy a schedule like that!! like please let me have that
