Reduce hours and days for CPS students

Help Chicago children be fresh and creative by giving them more down time and a realistic amount of time in school.

Why is this important?

Non-educators have made the decision to add hours and days of school. Young students need time to relax and recharge in order to be creative, deep thinkers. After homework, they have little if no time for relaxation or creative play. With both a longer school day and year, students are not at their best for learning.
