Just a snippet as it's from AP

NEA will have its panties in a bunch, unless he comes across with massive--and I mean MASSIVE--pay increases for the teachers for those extra days.
-
It has a whole lot more to do with curriculum than it does with more days wasted on the same pointless bullshit, and he isn't about to invoke the NEA and youth vote ire by screwing with that.
-
I'm all for our kids learning more because I do think there is a lot of room for academic improvement in the public school system. I just don't want THIS president setting the agenda.

Bingo. More days spent discussing touchy-feely crap will not improve America's test scores. I'm a huge proponent of getting back to basics of education, reading, writing, arithmetic, science, and history. Hold children back if they are not ready for the next grade level so that they don't hold everybody else back.
Kids attend more school now, on average, than their parents and grandparents, and still manage to learn less. It isn't the hours, it is what is being taught that will make the difference.
-
Yeah, I agree, it's quality over quantity, and I also think this is just another pay-off to the unions - hire more teachers, increase their pay and indoctrination time. Another lead baloon by Obama.
-
More time in the classroom doesn't make you smart. It's what you do with that time in the classroom.
And kids need time to enjoy themselves. Childhood is so short, why not let them enjoy it while they can?
And having a summer off allows quality time for parents to teach their kids things they won't learn in school.

You'd rather have Bush's no (retarded) child left behind?

That was Dead Ted's baby, nutless.

First off, that was Ted Kennedy's project.
Second, your a scumbag for making fun of retarded children.

And with that, you've worn out your welcome. Goodbye, fool.

Ding ding ding ....the winnah!
This is exactly why libs like Obumble want more school...so they have mroe time to brainwash, and parents have less time to de-program.

That is also why 0Bama wants to have a government run preschool for kids. The sooner the brainwashing begins, the better.

How many times was Obama absent from Congress?

Present a total of 147 days (I think) his entire senatorial career.

I'd be thrilled if the kiddies actually went to school for the entire regular school year. The local school district never has two complete consecutive weeks in session. They're always off for some "in service" day, holiday, break, etc.....all conveniently spread out through the school year. "back in the day" we started the day after Labor Day, got 2 days off at Thanksgiving, two weeks around Christmas/New Years, a week for spring break in March, and were out around June 1.
-
Schools wouldn't have to spend the first three months of every year reviewing everything they forgot over summer vacation. They might actually learn something.
-
As much as I am for my children's education I want them to have the chance to be kids just as much. Go fishing and swimming the things I enjoyed as a kid

We started the last week in August, and got out the first week of June. My freshman year , school ran from 8:10 to 3:30, by my senior year it had changed to 8:10-2:20.

My youngest school day starts at 720 ends at 220 my oldest starts at 8 and ends at 420

Lord you are brain dead! You do realize one of your heros, Ted, I'm worm food, Kennedy, wrote that piece of shit, don't you? BTW I hold Bush responsible for that disaster too, so don't even go there. That's what happens when we cross the aisle, we get it in the nether region every time!
You have nothing to say about what others have posted. You just jump right out there and post Obumbler can save us shit!
How about adressing the fact that we have done nothing but pump more and more money into our educational system and our kids keep getting more ignorant by the frikkin' minute? DC, the capital of our country, is the biggest cess pool of a school system on earth! You should be proud! Me, I'm ashamed!
WTF is your solution? Other than, giving teachers who don't teach, more money, teaching subjects that have absolutely nothing to do with the 3 R's, indoctrinating our children into socialism, teaching them sex is ok, the proper way to put on a condom, parents don't know or understand the world any better than a 5 year old, and sucking up to dear leader every time you open your mouth or spread your legs? Sure looks like a solution to me!
I'm sick and tired of you "better than everyone else" asshats telling us what we should do, when all of your solutions have had the adverse effect on the intelligence of our kids! Put up or shut up!
Better yet, go crawl back under your rock! You lack the intelligence to add anything remotely worth reading to this discussion.
