Should kids be given a nap time in school

Younger kids are given a nap time in school. IS it really necessary. I feel the purpose of a kid to come to school is learn and be in a disciplined atmosphere. As it is the school hours for younger kids a less and plus if we allow some nap time in school the purpose of them coming here is lost. They can sleep as much as they like in their homes, but i do not think nap time in school really helps. It just makes the kid more lazy.

According to researches preschool students who napped for an average of 77 minutes had 10% better recall on a memory test that the children who skipped the nap. I think it’s pretty much fair to introduce a short nap interval time in school.
