Obama Wants More School, Shorter Break

[Pepper]

Could affect college.

It wouldn't affect private establishments such as college, unless it's government funded.

 

[ssylass]

if he does this, im just walking out of school the time i usualy would get out.

 

[Killer Mantis]

I'm glad im out of school.

Why would you walk away from a free education?

 

[Pain To Live]

First thought, Obama was going to be a good president.
He's a fucking disgrace.
Good job America, good fucking job.

 

[claw bogy]

This shouldn't be very fun.

It might affect private high schools some... Colleges are fine.

I think it would be good, I'm not a nerd or anything, but the amount of Uneducated fucks in this world, it might do something different

Listen to yourselves, do you realise people in India or other less fortunate countries would kill for this.

The public indoctrination centres (or 'schools') already have long enough hours. Let's keep them as is or shorter, hmm?

Fuck that, basketball practice would probably end at 10 or 11 because of that shit. Dumb ass didn't think about athletes studying AFTER practice.

Was thinking the same thing, I am not looking to have a 15 hour day

 

[Shattered Reflection]

There is no way they can even pay for the extra hours the school is open. LOL

That is one of the main points... You can't just keep increasing spending when we are in such heavy debt.... >_>.

Instead of increasing the mediocre education we get at public schools, how about we improve the funding, tests, and the quality of teachers?

Its like saying they are going to increase the amount of days Senate meets. It won't do much, just cost us more and let them eat free.

 

[Glitch04]

I think there should be something done. I knew more of these questions and I'm Canadian, how can US students NOT know these?

This.

improve teachers = students motivated to learn = better then longer hours, even though im in Australia thats my opinion

I know for one, that if you have a halfway decent teacher who know's what they are talking about and make it fun to be there. You will learn more than other classes where the teacher is a prick.

 

[waser]

If this were to happen I am pretty sure i will be long out of highschool, would suck if it happened and all the kids that have to deal with it. But i doubt it will ever happen

That is a good point, but Obama also was talking about kids in poor families that get into trouble when they are no in school because no one is around to watch them.... >_>.
