... I had not really thought about it either!

In all of our time in class discussions, I feel that we have not brought up the idea of less time in-school as an option. For all of our radicalism, it seems that we have been so well socialized that even when we talk about education reform it is hard for us to leave the realm of its current manifestation, a five-day-a-week, 8-3ish, structure. 

I have no idea what another format would look like, however I do believe that once students are old enough that school is no longer serving as a kind of child-care, that perhaps more on-site learning could be an interesting approach.
