14. I don't know if the school day needs to be lengthened, but it does need to be restructured.
School authorities seem terrified of allowing for any free time lest they lose control. Freshman at our high school get 20 minutes for lunch. That includes getting to the cafeteria and standing in line.

Addin two more hours of what we are doing now won't help. Adding two hours for active sports, guided art or music, one on one tutoring, homework etc; maybe.
