    Well, according to President Obama's latest ideas, you should get em!

    Instead of the mandatory 180 days of schoolin and teaching, apparently that's old school.

    So, now President Obama plans to add 20 more days, which would be 4 more weeks, or another month to your American school year.

    Hip Hip, Hooray!

    If you knew much about the Education sector, you'd realize longer school years is a completely inadequate way to go about it.

    ^ The teachers are unmotivated and don't care, so they don't teach well.
    The students have no reason to want to learn, so they don't learn well.
    Increasing the amount of time that students are in school would not help.

    I know right? I've never seen so many 11th graders who don't know how to read! Who passes these people?

    But I agree, if only for my school. We've went from getting out at 3:50, to getting out at 3:45, to 2:50 then to 2:08.
    Really? 2:08? What's the point of that? Why not 2:10? 2:20? Or just 2? Why the 8 minutes!?
    The hours per class ratio in my school is ridiculous. I barely have time to do anything.

    This is a stupid idea. Making school longer would make a lot of test scores go down. A person's ability to learn starts at home, we won't learn anything if no one tells us right from wrong and that's not the teachers' responsibility, but they do enforce it xP

    Students will get restless going to school for so many days and so will the teachers, cuz lets face it, they like having days off from work as much as we like days off of school. We won't be able to learn and the teachers won't be able to teach and down goes America and its test scores

    It was (jokingly) said that reading and writing were not a requirement for my class to graduate. Sadly, it seems to not be much of a requirement elsewhere.

    The times for classes that my friends had were weird like that, too. It confused me. O_o
