That seems like a really long day. I didn't have a daily homeroom, how many hours of classes are included in that? I would feel awful for any child that gets dropped off at 6am, sits in a cafeteria for an hour, sits through 2 hours of homeroom and then 8 hours of classes.

That's also probably only going to work for highschool aged kids. The reality is that they're probably capable of getting themselves to school if you have to leave early

It is not mandatory. Our school has similar system and kids spend that time playing. They dont just sit on chair. There is one teacher to supervise a group of kids, if there are too many kids the group gets split into two.
