[QUOTE=Muf;17545000]Wow.. We already only have like a 2 month break. You fucking idiot president. I will leave if this happens. Obama is the shittiest president ever. We already go to fucking school to much - we barely ever get breaks.[/QUOTE] you're dumb [editline]01:25PM[/editline] [QUOTE=Billiam;17545081]About 2.5 months, in New Jersey 180 days of school per year is mandatory.[/QUOTE] Not all added up. I mean the lengths of each individual break.
[QUOTE=Faren;17545110]you're dumb [editline]01:25PM[/editline] Not all added up. I mean the lengths of each individual break.[/QUOTE] 2.5 months for Summer vacation and 1 week every season(Except Summer).
What they don't realize is that having longer days and shorter vacations would fuck up a lot of families. Most people's work and vacation schedules are merged into and around the standard american school schedule.
Your right man I'm stupid I haven't made a single C in my entire life only As and Bs and Advanced + on the state test we were forced to take.
[QUOTE=Muf;17545106]Do you honestly think all the old fat asses in the legislative branch aren't going to agree with him? Their excuse is "Computers are ruining this generation, spend more time at school so theirs less computer." Watch - next calculators are illegal. An article in my local news paper said that at a Public school students were taught to sing a song that is meant to be about Jesus but instead of Jesus its replaced with Obama. Students were also forced to read books on Obama all around the United States. That is communism my friends, soon enough history books will have false writings in them and propaganda.[/QUOTE] Amateur troll.

[QUOTE=Billiam;17545141]2.5 months for Summer vacation and 1 week every season(Except Summer).[/QUOTE] Fair enough. Australia (at least in my state, Victoria) has 2 weeks for the end of Term 1 (Our school year starts in February because Summer is December/January/February here), 2 weeks at the end of term 2, 2 weeks at the end of term 3 and then 8-9 weeks for summer holidays. ... Wow, I didn't realise we had that much for summer until just now. Woops, I got that wrong. It's actually around 6 weeks for summer holidays.
[QUOTE=Doriol;17544676]The average American student spends less than a month learning.[/QUOTE] I still think you're exaggerating. Maybe, fifteen minutes. And that fifteen minutes of learning consists of watching youtube videos and becoming conscious of the fact that other countries exist.

[QUOTE=Muf;17545160]Your right man I'm stupid I haven't made a single C in my entire life only As and Bs and Advanced + on the state test we were forced to take.[/QUOTE] Your test scores are irrelevant. You're dumb because you'd leave a country just because of something that will only affect you for a few more years (and by the time this is put into action - if it does get put into action - you'll probably be out of school.
There are children who don't know who the Dalai Lama is and get Above Average test scores.

[QUOTE=jlbmw2002;17545554]There's also American High School Students that would fail the Immigration Test for immigrants to become American Citizens.[/QUOTE] Same thing with the Australian test. Fucking morons don't know what ANZAC stands for (people from other countries may not know what I'm talking about, but it is talked about a lot in schools, as well as on the [highlight]DAY THAT IS DEDICATED TO THEM[/highlight]).

Now let's make the finnish summer vacation a bit longer.. So let's see, 9 weeks now.. how about 12 weeks?
So happy I graduated this year.
[QUOTE=Talat112;17545680]So happy I graduated this year.[/QUOTE] So happy I live in Australia. I didn't even really want L4D2 that much.
Glad this is my last year. I know it's already been said before but quality>quantity. Rather than do the right thing to do, which would be to improve the quality of the education system, Obama is playing to the dumbed down masses by trying to do the easy thing, that's easy to understand. Oh well, I made it through the hellhole of public education, saw the very worst, and saw the very best, but I did what I had to do to get through it, and at times, exploited it to make the whole task a little less boring.

Only one in four could name the country's first president. In fact, only 2.8 percent of the students correctly answered six of 10 questions. Candidates for U.S. citizenship are required to answer six of 10 questions correctly to become citizens. The success rate for immigrants taking the latest citizenship test was 92.4 percent.[/quote] For some reason I hope these kids were just drunk when they called and better been batshit drunk.
This is why it's rad to be on independent study. Like me :smug:
[QUOTE=Doriol;17538000]Hour long, 50 minutes long, same thing. We need shorter classes, not longer.[/QUOTE] Fuck that shit. Each of my classes at school is 90 minutes long and I get a LOT more out of those classes than I did when I had 40 minute classes, or 50 minutes. With the 90 minute classes I have now the explanations are much more in depth, there's more time to ask questions to get an understanding of what you're covering, and you still have plenty of time to get the work done.

[QUOTE=Mister B;17537169]:smithicide: [editline]03:16PM[/editline] I wish we voted for McCain.[/QUOTE] How on earth did you vote when you are still in school? I think its a good idea for one simple reason, I have kids and I hate the summer holidays
[QUOTE=CubeManv2;17537192]Sorry that's just gonna make children cut more.[/QUOTE] Who cares?
I don't really mind, Summer Vacation is extremely boring anyways.
