Half-day school
A half-day school is a form of organizing school with the goal of students at a school regularly to the extent of half a day training to teach. Classes generally take place in the morning.
The historical development towards a limitation of lessons to the morning took place towards the end of the 19th century, first in higher education, then also in elementary schools ; previously it was common to have lessons spread over the day. In Germany , half-day school without lunch is considered normal school.
As a special form of the half-day school, the reliable elementary school or the full half-day school in the first and second school year comprises at least four or four and a half hours a day, then at least five hours.
In some cases, the educational and care offerings of half-day schools are being expanded and care over lunchtime and, if necessary, further educational offerings in the form of courses and support measures in the afternoon are offered at the school. A distinction is made between an open half-day school with optional offers in the afternoon (including the possibility of lunch at the school and homework supervision under supervision) and an extended half-day school with optional offers in the afternoon. The extended half-day school also exists in particular for lower secondary level .
Homework is an essential part of school education as part of the half-day school . In contrast to the rhythmic all-day school , the teaching units in the half-day school are condensed and require extensive independent learning in the afternoon or, if necessary, instructed by parents or supervisors.
