00:00 I think there might be quite a lot of kids who get pretty exhausted with that amount of time at school.
00:04 I think my eight year old would find it very, very difficult to stay concentrated after about four o'clock in the afternoon.
00:10 And there may not be very much day left to play.
00:13 So I suspect that we'd be losing something quite valuable by discarding that part of the day when they're left to be a bit bored and do their own thing.
00:20 I mean I admit it's a good idea to try and keep them off their screen.
00:24 I think it could be very helpful.
00:26 Working parents obviously find it very hard to manage early finish times for school days.
00:40 So I think it would probably be a good idea.
00:42 I think so it's eleven hours. I wouldn't like that.
00:45 I think so it's too much for kids to study eleven hours.
00:49 Additionally I think it would be easier for them and they can handle it. They would be tired by studying eleven hours, no?
00:57 I would be tired by studying eleven hours. What about little kids?
