Opinion: If I were in charge of ... School, Daisy Curtis, 13,Sheffield

If I was in charge of school then I would make the school day start at half past 10 so we could all have lie-ins.

I'd change the holidays and make half-terms longer - three weeks long.The main holidays are alright though - Easter, summer and Christmas arelong enough - it's nice to go back and see friends when school startsagain.

We'd go on more school trips - it's so much more fun getting out of theclassroom. We already go on trips but I'd like us to go on more.Homework would be banished - you would never have to do it unless it wasreally good fun. If it didn't take up so much time it wouldn't be sobad, but the homework I get takes so long, especially as I'mdyslexic.
