British teaching unions Sunday cautiously welcomed government plans to extend school opening hours for pupils ages under 14 that 【M1】______ are aimed at allowing parents working longer and keeping kids out 【M2】______ of trouble. Education Secretary Ruth Kelly was Monday to set out a 680-million-pound (1.02-billion-pound, 1.21-billion-dollar) programme to transfer schools into community centres. 【M3】______ A senior Education Department source said, 'Respect is a two-way street and we know that if we want to keep kids hanging 【M4】______ out and causing trouble, and if we want their parents to go out to work to support the family, the days of schools opening 9 am—3 pm are over.' Responding to the news, a spokeswoman for the National Union of Teachers said, 'The 680 million sound like new money, but 【M5】______ across 23,000 schools, it will be spread very thinly.' Schools did not necessarily have the capacity or resources to meet the government's wishes, she added. Children would be able to turn up early to school for so-called breakfast clubs and stay lately playing sport or doing homework 【M6】______ under a shake-up of the school day to be known as 'Kelly hours'. Prime Minister Tony Blair has said the government's plans for opening schools from 8 am to 6 pm would end the culture of 'latch-key kids' come home to empty houses after school. 【M7】______ Schools in Britain generally begin at 9 am, closing at six hours 【M8】______ later, although some have already began to extend the learning day, A prospectus for the scheme was to be sent to schools and local councils. Writing in the document, Kelly said, 'From my visits of 【M9】______ schools, I know that the best are delivering extended services already. They know that children will be better placed to achieve their full potential if they are in childcare What allows them to 【M10】______ complete their homework, keep fit and healthy and have fun.' Schools would be free to choose what activities they offered. 【M1】
