Is that really that different than an adult work day? I think I actually have more time off now than when I was in grade school.

I used to get on the school bus at 7, start school at 8, go to 2:30 with around an hour for lunch/recess, then two hours of sports practice (or two hours of killing time, then two hours of practice, during basketball season, since we only had one gym), and get home either at 5 or at 7. That's a long day, and throwing an hour or more of homework on top leaves you with pretty much nothing left.

College, now those were the days. 2-3 hours of class, and maybe half the time 2-3 hours of work study.
