Notice how more kids get in trouble at the end of the day than at the beginning? The reason is so simple to understand! Kids get restless when they are bored for a long time. That's another area where my idea would help. It would shorten the day from 7 hours to 4 hours. A 3 hour difference! Kids also daydream when they are bored.
