Ann Arbor Mich A University of Michigan education professor Max Wingo predicts the school of the future will run year round with seven day operation due to social demand. He says schools have absorbed many duties from feeding programs driver training and recreation and will continue expanding vocational studies while neglecting issues like sex education health religious instruction and guidance for ethical development.
