Did the school day increase in length? If not, then anything added means something else was taken out. Or are there multiple teachers speaking to the same class

Did the school day increase in length? If not, then anything added means something else was taken out. Or are there multiple teachers speaking to the same class simultaneously, each teaching their own subjects, alongside each other?
- eesmith 4y agoWhat was taken out was the narrow focus on only the works of white men. By the time I was in high school in the 1980s, this included reading from Zora Neal Hurston (Harlem Renaissance, US) and Chinua Achebe (post-colonial Nigeria). I don't think that was so common in the 1960s. In elementary school in the 1970s we learned about Wernher von Braun (though not about his Nazi membership). This was the post-Apollo era, after all. Nowadays I suspect the focus might be more on Katherine Johnson. I don't think that's a bad thing.
