问题     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.
