Not suggesting 8-5 constant classes! Maybe a long lunch break with time for socializing and sports mixed in during the school day

8-5 like a normal person!
Mental focus requires training and discipline. It doesn't come naturally!

idk, I cut my own hair to save money. Barbershop is not food or water.

>A lot of research has already shown that grown adults at 8-5 jobs experience a drop-off in ability to focus after several straight hours. I don't think it's realistic to expect better outcomes for kids being taught for 8 hours every day.
Maybe it's because they weren't trained from a young age to adapt to those kinds of routines.
And not just straight classroom hours, but also socializing time, club time, sports time, lunch time, quiet time.
Most high-achieving high schoolers already do what is essentially 8-5, if not more. Mandating it for everyone will bridge the gap in achievement and alleviate social inequality in the long run.
