6 day school week system resumes??

Now it is becoming a big issue to studying deficiency. A five day school week system was phased in about 12 years ago. At that time it was said everybody (teachers and kids) were too busy to have relax time. But for this decade many thing haverapidly changed (or progressed) for example, computer games, cellphones appeared.

Now it is said having more free time makes kids lazy. So some students are busy to attend cram schools, and other students are busy playing computer games. Apparently the difference of studying is getting bigger.So some education authorities voiced to resume 6 day-school week.

I'm not sure whether it resums or not. But it might be one way to eliminate the problem. Now rich people is able to let their kids attend cram schools, but poor people can't do it. I thought every kid had to have same opportunity to get education.

BUT ---Teachers , who are "workers" will become busy, and "parents" and "kids" have to get up earlier on Saturdays. It must be hard to return to such a busy life. For many family "Saturdays" are really important family days.

Anyway unified preliminary examination for state-run and other public universities is done.this system is not changed for long time. When kids become high school students they have to face to study hard for the examination.
