This is well known, but it also has impact on lots of other interconnected issues. Such as parents work schedules, that effect stability, that effect students learning as well. It will also impact school budgets, which then influences what kind of supplies and teachers a school gets, which also has a big impact on learning, and on and on and on.
Not saying we shouldn't do it, I just feel like sometimes we see an idea that would help things and then jump to, obviously there is no reason not to do it, it must be evil <insert bogyman here government, corporations, lazy teachers unions, Illuminati, leprechauns>. We must remember we live in an incredibly complex system and pushing for changes in just one part will have ramifications that must be considered downstream.
