Your child’s school runs 45-minute periods. Their online English class is 60 minutes. They are present for most of it, but the last 20 minutes are clearly not getting through. You wonder whether a shorter class might actually produce more.
For most children under 10, the answer is yes. Not because less content is better, but because the density of useful learning per minute is higher in a focused 25-minute session than in a longer class where attention drops after the first half-hour. This page explains the reasoning, compares the two formats directly, and covers what to look for in a short lesson that still builds measurable progress.
