Obama Wants More School, Shorter Break

[volvic]

Oh no! he's trying to increase your education???? omg! what a moron.

 

[Triggerfinger]

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.... >_>.

Why not AFTER school programs? Like the Boys and Girls club or whatever they call it now?

[The data below is from 2004, so by now, the numbers have most likely increased]
You have to keep in mind the positives and negatives of this fucking situation.

Our economy all ready, is obviously shit. Extending more hours to our school time = more hours for the teachers = they need to be paid more.

How the fuck could we afford to pay all these teachers more money?

Teachers working in the USA:
Preschool, 442,000, salary $44,700
Secondary (1st - 8th), 772,000, salary $44,700
Postsecondary (9th - 12th), 1,100,000, salary $44,700
College, 562,000, salary $101,200.

The average amount of teachers, obviously rounded, are pretty high already... Correct? Now imagine adding a good $5,000-$15,000 extra onto their salary. Then times that by the number of teachers, etc etc.

There's a big fucking difference, am I right?

Now yes, there are upsides to the increase of school hours too.
For the parents who have to work late, their children have a save place to be, rather than having their ten year old kid roaming freely around the house for an extra two to three hours.

Education would most likely be increased, but why cut into summer and our breaks? Giving us less time out of school, obviously the kids wouldn't be too happy about this one. The last month of school, and the first month of school, are getting situated, and blow off time. So why the fuck add more? As I am in Florida, so after our FCAT (State required test) is finished, the rest of the school year is basically free. Adding into summer, just a waste of bloody time.

Making us attend school, every other Saturday, again, stupid. We already are piled with homework on the weekends, so why take one day from us? Giving us a Sunday to socialize, and complete on average seven different classes work? That's ridiculous...

I'd be totally fine having four days of school a week, doing ten hours, instead of five hours a week, doing eight hours.

Well he wanted to shorten summer break so kids have less days off... I'd say free summer programs for troubled families makes more sense.

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.

Im out of school, but that would affect me.

I never studyed though.
