I don't understand why you were censored, and I still say that the previous 
etni poll about staying until 4? was just as detached from reality as 
Limor.  There are many different educational streams in this country, and 
lots of small schools and small communities.  Transporting the kids to 
school is a major expense, so reducing the number of schools does not 
always save money.

When I went to school, in the '50's and '60's in New York, we had a 6 hour 
school day (9am-3pm), and that included lunch.  In high school we were 
restricted to a maximum of five, sometimes 4, academic subjects: English, 
Math, science, Social Studies and a foreign language.  The sixth hour was 
divided between sport, health and study hall.  The Jewish schools had much 
longer days, because they had the religious subjects.

The thing I would reform here would be to combine history, ezrachut, 
geography into Social Studies and Literature, grammar and composition into 
"Hebrew."  The kids have too many subjects for too few hours each and no 
perspective.  English should start later and be 5 hours a week until the 
12th grade.  Also taught in homogeneous hakbatzot.
