Claim children should attend school for more days of the year but for less time each day which statement best refutes the opposing argument
Statement: Increasing the number of school days while reducing the time spent each day would limit students' ability to engage in deep learning and retention of information.
By reducing the total time spent in school each day, students would have fewer opportunities to delve deeply into subjects, engage in critical thinking, and participate in hands-on activities. Extended periods of uninterrupted learning allow students to immerse themselves in a topic, ask questions, and engage in meaningful discussions with their peers and teachers. With shorter school days, it would be difficult to replicate these immersive learning experiences. Consequently, students may struggle to retain and apply information effectively, hindering their overall educational development.
