Something that I still think is an issue in education today is the structure of the school day. The very regimented school day in most school systems does not support many educators' belief in the importance of interdisciplinary education. Many students have eight 45 minute periods throughout the day for each area of study, and this schedule inherently communicates to the students that these subject areas are all different. While many teachers connect the subject areas in their classrooms, it is probably not happening as often as it should. Is there anything that can be done about this, or do educators need to continue to find ways to connect different disciplines with a school day that is definitely not promoting this?
