I am a firm believer that our current school calendar is a vestige of an agrarian culture; and is nonsensical in today's modern times. I believe a fresh look at the school day is also in order. I heard this interview recently, and the guest, from Duke University, brought up may of the reasons I feel this way. Check out this transcript (or listen to the interview) and I think you will question what we are currently doing in regards to instructional time.
