School timing..........?

and her timings are perfect: 7.00am-1.15pm Gives her plenty of time to do a lot of stuff, including driving me crazy! But thankfully,since she doesn't have any afternoon naps, she's generally in bed by 8.30pm!

you said ''....A normal human can't work more then 10 hours...''

You have no idea at all. What do you understand, a human's hands or legs become frozen after 10 hours work ?

you accepted that kids have no time to even play how they will be healthy if we gave them this much burden

JDouble not all parents have drivers to pick their kids from school ? Instead they use buses which goes at a max speed of 80-100Kms/hr

My two go to bed by 2100 (they are 12 & 10), they get up at 0530 and leave with me at 0630. They arrive at school at 0645 for a 0700 start. They are out bu 1345 (after having had 2 breaks & lunch - a healthy one which WE provide them). The driver picks them up and they are home by 1410 - an hours homework a day and snack later its not even 1600! Plenty of time for friends and free time - OK so I arranged my accomodation around my kids school but doesn't everyone do this?

Sure its different from home but completely normal in the Middle East (where we all live, by the way!)

Lets all make a Big human chain by catching each others hands and enter MOE building ? :)

well it can be only then when we go all together

for 12noon finish the authoritites will tell us to start early by 05 morningish....:(

If you going to talk to authorities....go for a 12noon finish eh?? :P

we must talk our school its very necessary

Lawa you are right. Not only they reach 3.30 but they have to get up very early to catch bus at 5.15. Yesterday children could not finish their home work. I think people should talk to concern authority, what you think?

I agree as I have been gone through the same situation. In fact I changed the school two times because of the same reason. I had the same feeling as the kids doesn’t have any time left to do any other activity. But now Alhamdullilah the routine has been set; as I have agreed with the bus driver to drop my kids on one location while I pick them up. Hence they reach home by max 1.30 pm. I believe the school management should thing about increasing the transportation and one bus should be nominated to one specific area; because they are charging much and even they charge for the transporation fee even though once the summmer vacations are on.....

My experience is schools can't provide you healthy food its very difficult and think your kids have only one meal at home that is dinner and most of us take our kids for dine out now what's left

Try for betterment it might take time but it will

Lawa its not about provide better or cheaper, the issue is that when all the kids eat the similar kind of food which is healthy it will promote health conscious.

i wish lso that they reduce the timing for school........but they wil never ever do that

Do you think they can provide better food than your home..........?

whenever we came back late from our office our head gone a blown up just think about kids who suffered daily this much

UkEng, for healthy lunch the school charges us Healthy ! :) so most of the parents prefer preparing healthy lunch for their kids and give them tiffins...:)

curious, every school gives breaks to have breakyast & lunch...but getting up so early and reaching home so late u think the kids will be like superman to be tat energetic to do anything ? :)

I wish that School provided Healthy Lunch for KIDS. School healthy Lunch should be provided by the schools and to make the kids more health conscious.

A normal human can't work more then 10 hours and kids are staying at schools near about 11 hours and after that they deserve some rest i think

Lol UkEng !

if i was in MOE, i would change the timings from 08:00am till 2pm with 3 breaks.....:)

Well but they need a big demand for change they said that your people never ask us for change

firstly, kids get time at school for lunch. Secondly, if you make sure they go to bed at a reasonable time, they won't need to sleep when they come home from school. So, problem solved.

Rizks should get a job in the MoE to sort this out..:)

timing our kids became home stay kids and they don't have time to go out

and you think the people sitting in Ministry of Education doesnt know about the school timings ? :(

Infact, they are the ones who approved, sealed and stamped these school timings...:)

the way they used was wrong the this issue must be taken to the ministry of education

Agree lawa, i think this issue was taken up by many parents before....but no use ! :(

I wish same the prob is nobody had talked about it till date

wrong answer,its supposed to be 7 am...lol

In the UK School starts at 9am and finishes around 3pm, I wish they also have the same times here, at least the Kids can get a decent sleep ..:)

Are you agree with it.........?????

/a-t-/ monk- 7pm?? so,the whole day in school?? I guess it must be the day care types...

Good idea you must go ahead and now almost every school have its timing to 2:00

achool starts at 7pm,then 12 to 1pm lunch time,1:30pm to 5pm classes resume... :(

As I know most indian schools are off by 1:30 but DPS timings are 2 pm...I really wish that school authorities do something to minimize the timings...What if the parents give the applications to the schools regarding the same thing ???

Yes but when you have senior kids with junior they suffered by this delay.........

now this is going to be out of routine there no time left for any other activity or home study well you said what to do at lest we all must talk about it to the authorities that it must be at 1:00 clock

Most junior schools finish at 1pm and Senior around 1.30pm

most of the Asian schools gets over by 2pm.

it is 1pm at our school!

i know its not right but wat to do yaani ? :(

do you think............?
