I would like to be able to have time for personal one on one time with students to make them feel like individuals and not like a group. If I had half-day kindergarten, I would have more educational time, mixing fun learning with paper learning. Fun learning would be using games, flash cards, and songs. Paper learning would be learning how to write names numbers and alphabets. Then,before and after learning they could have free time.
More time is helpful if it is used for educational purposes.
If more free time is not used children may not learn all they can. Curriculum comes first. They can always play at home.
