I don't agree with the hours thing, But with not finding time to book holidays, Where i work i get 2 weeks easter and christmas and first 4 weeks summer off and rest of half terms are deep cleans, But I personally would keep the hours at 9:00-3:00 but then reduce the 13 week holdays to 10, Hopefully this will drag till 2015 after elections so gove doesn't get in

9 hours is too long, we would end up spending no time with them. My children go to bed at 7! They would be to tired to learn any more than they do now.

I think that this is just ridiculous and that it will course more problems in schools between teachers n pupils! when r they supposed 2 be kids n have fun, when r they supposed 2 have family time and how r parents meant 2 afford n book holidays within school holidays when already there finding it hard! This is just a massive joke and i think Camerons way of try make more money by fineing parents probably 4 taking there kids out of school at normal hrs or allowing there kids 2 walk out at the normal hrs! It's all wrong!!

People spend enough time working around the clock to make ends meet! Children need time to play and be children & spend quality time with their families!! 9 hours maybe a bit more sensible for people in post 16 education however let children be children!!

Keep school hours and holidays as they are. Family time is important dont let the children loose out on being children.

Kids should be kids! Expecting kids to work in school longer than most adults work is disgusting.

Cut the holidays by all means, but don't increase the school days, it's too much!

Definitely not!!! I had to children to be with them !!! Not someone else to bring up MY CHILDREN!!!! If this happens will be home schooling then!!!!
I am against the 9 hour days to.... 1. Because children won't to able to concentrate because to the days will be to long 2. If they were that long after school clubs would never able to run, so all extra things won't run 3.If school extends then cleaners/caretakers will need to stay to nearly 9:00pm

I did not have my children to pass them over for teachers to affectively bring up. How can a 5 yet old be expected to do a 9 hour day, 5 days a week?? Most working don't even do those hours! When does this allow children to be children?? I want my child to know the importance of a loving family but hey! I guess they'll be able to teach that in history... My eldest is 6. We we eat dinner by 5pm and he is in bed 6.30-7pm. With health issues I would never expect him to go to bed on a full stomach or to push his bedtime back, causing tiredness and him eventually becoming exhausted, run down and eventually ill!! This angers me beyond belief. These are my children. Not the states. I wish to bring them up, not a teacher.

I did not have children to pass them over to other to nuture! This new 9 hour day will produce a generation of sick and exhausted children. The family is being torn apart! No 5 year old should spend 9 hours a day at school, even parents dont work that long! Silly ideas about getting us all back to work may be good for employment figures but there are not enough jobs to meet demand as it is! Let our children be children, dont take childhood away from them, they are young for so few years!
