Extending the school day will actually be counterproductive for these students as it will reduce this much needed special attention.

4:00 = 4:30 home
Plus if they have after school activity -such as student council , etc., would I then have to leave my start to making dinner, load family back into car at 5:30? It does not make sense. A half hour is a big deal in so many small ways .
So truly it's an hour adjustment for many parties involved.
