:00:23. > :00:25.First, could your school day be about to get longer?
:00:26. > :00:28.Well, the Government said yesterday kids in England might be spending
:00:29. > :00:31.more time in the classroom in the future.
:00:32. > :00:33.The idea was announced in yesterday's Budget.
:00:34. > :00:36.That's when the man in charge of spending the UK's money,

:00:54. > :00:55.It means secondary schools in England could be opened up
:00:56. > :01:01.Now, that's additional time that would be used for more lessons
:01:02. > :01:06.and even after-school activities like art and technology.
:01:07. > :01:09.So how would you feel about staying at school for longer?
:01:10. > :01:11.It'll be all right if it's good lessons.

:01:14. > :01:17.I like being in school and having fun, but when you stay on too long,
:01:18. > :01:22.I have to go home to do my homework straight away, but if you had longer
:01:23. > :01:26.hours in school, I could get the teachers to help me do it.
:01:27. > :01:28.If we're there longer, it will affect our learning,
:01:29. > :01:31.because we won't be concentrating as much because we'd be tired.
:01:32. > :01:34.If children had extra education then they wouldn't have enough time to do
:01:35. > :01:40.the stuff children should be doing, like hanging out with friends.
:01:41. > :01:43.I think I would miss more time with my family and playing
:01:44. > :01:53.saying children will miss out on family time at home and that some
:01:54. > :01:56.schools might struggle to find enough money to stay
:01:57. > :02:01.The Government said they will give money to help schools in England,
:02:02. > :02:04.but there may not be enough for everyone.
:02:05. > :02:07.So if your school decides to extend your day, well,

:02:16. > :02:18.day and absolutely loads of you have been in touch.
:02:19. > :02:20.Bethany from Cheltenham said: I think that having longer school
:02:21. > :02:24.days wouldn't be the best because kids won't have enough time
:02:25. > :02:29.Emily agreed, saying: I think the idea is ridiculous.
:02:30. > :02:33.Children are already stressed about having to go home after school

:02:56. > :02:59.Tom in Hastings said: I think that the school hours should be
:03:00. > :03:02.longer because we will have more time to do things such as revising
:03:03. > :03:05.for tests with the support of teachers.
:03:06. > :03:08.And Belle in Sussex had this suggestion: It's a good idea
