Question

Imagine that you have just read an article arguing that the school day should be eight hours instead of six. Write a counter-argument for this position.

Answer 1

Counter-argument of the statement that the school day should be eight hours instead of six.

Explanation:

• Usually, 6-8 subjects are taught at school. If each class is 45 minutes, it would take more than 6 hours. There is also 1 hour break in between.

• But the thing is 45 minutes is a lot of time for the students to concentrate. Usually, students loose their concentration after 20-30 minutes.

• Also quality is better than quantity. So, if we focus on quality 6 hours are enough for the students at school.
