Some have extended the school year, or reorganized it to avoid a long summer break. Another choice is to extend the school day.

　　By 2006, almost one-third of all secondary schools had some form of block scheduling (延长时间的教学计划). The idea is to provide longer periods in the school day to teach basic subjects.

　　More class time should mean better results. This is the thinking, at least. Yet a 2006 study found that secondary schools with traditional schedules had higher test scores by comparison. Schools with block scheduling did have higher scores in science, though.

　　So how useful is a longer school day? Not surprisingly, the policy experts at Indiana say it is what educators do with the extra time that has the largest effect on student learning. Teachers must be trained to use the added time effectively. The report notes that simply adding time to a program that is not very good or very interesting will not increase student learning.
