This could be the answer to childcare problems for working parents, but even so 8am to 5 or 6pm would be better.

What about time for kids to be kids? To play around, go to fields/woods/parks etc, making dens, getting dirty, scrapes and scratches.
I grew up in South Africa where, because of the weather, you start early and end around lunchtime, whole afternoon free for sport, homework and freedom.
But isn't this getting off base a bit?
