How good is the concept of morning schools in summer?

We all know that all educational institutes will have summer vacations after the completion of their annual examinations. Giving holidays during summer is a very good concept. Children need not commute during summer and they can be inside the house during the peak hot hours of the day.

Just before the final examinations, all schools will have a morning school concept. The school will start working at about 8 AM and will be closed at 1 PM. Is it really good for students to go back to their houses in that high-temperature times? Instead, school can start at 6 AM and stop at 11 AM. Otherwise, start normally and extend one hour in the evenings so that the heat will come down by that time.

I am not able to understand the benefit to a student in this morning school concept. Members can share their views.

This matter is really in the hands of parents rather than the school authorities or concerned state governments. As specified by the author, I myself noticed it in two different places in this connection.

In Chennai, many government schools for students up to the ninth standard kept classes in the mornings for those who have examinations in the evenings and vice versa. This system is made by them mainly to retain the children by avoiding them to come home or going to school on a hot sunny day. But this was commented by parents why did not they hold examinations only in the morning or evening session only so as to keep their children in the non-examination hours.

But in Madurai, there was no such system followed. I have heard from some parents as they stand in the road for the school bus at noon that they commented,' See, we are paying fees for a full day, why do not they hold classes in the nonexamination hours? In this hot summer they are going to school, will not it make them tired before attending examinations?'

If both comments like this arise, how to make decisions by schools in this connection?
