Moscow: Schools
should not teach difficult subjects like mathematics and physics
to children on Thursdays because it was "the hardest day of the
week", Russia's chief sanitary doctor has said in a
recommendation.
"Children have their own bio-rhythms and Thursday is the hardest
day of the week," RIA Novosti quoted Gennady Onishchenko as
telling the Ekho Moskvy radio station in an interview.
"Therefore, it is not recommended to teach difficult subjects like
mathematics and physics on Thursdays because those subjects
require a heavier load on the brain," he said.
The doctor said there are special conditions in school scheduling
and that parents should know about them. Parents should also take
a more active role in curriculum planning to cut down on excessive
mental load on children.
