In a 2004 report, researchers at the University of Michigan compared the time use of American children in 1981–82 to their time use in 2002–03. They discovered that over that twenty-year period, American children aged six to seventeen spent much more time in school in the early 2000s than they did in the early 1980s. While children in all age groups saw increases in time spent in school over those two decades, the rise was particularly steep for young children ages six to eight, whose schooling increased from an average of five hours a day in 1981–82 to an average of seven hours a day in 2002–03. More significantly, these data did not include time spent in out-of-school programming and day care settings that are often quite school-like as well.
