According to Christopher Gabrieli, chairman of the National Center on Time and Learning and coauthor of the book Time to Learn, lengthening school days wouldn't only benefit students of all backgrounds, but it would also benefit their parents. He goes on to state that parents are more comfortable having their children have more teacher supervision throughout the day to improve their schoolwork while they're at work. He also argues that it's just not possible for teachers to fit everything they want to in the short amount of time they have and points out that evidence even shows that longer school days do in fact improve students' performances.
