School days shouldn't be longer.
I shouldnt be longer cause it would take time away from doing stuff with your family. Plus during summer the pools would brobably have a hard time. Im in 8th grade and i do like school but to much school is just to much stress. Then another thing if your in sports you will be there till who knows how long. Well thats my Opinion about it.
