Education - public school extended hours

I've been wrestling with the pros and cons of the idea of funding public schools so that proper staff/student can be achieved, and extend school day to 8-5, so parents can work, with the comfort that their children are supervised and safe, and not have to pay for private care.

Some of the obvious benefits:
- increased workforce productivity - both working parents and school staff
- added educational opportunities
- schools as "community centers"

I welcome your thoughts on this.
