[QUOTE=Dlaor;17551816]This is like adding more wheels to a car to make it faster. Instead, they need to increase the quality of the wheels.[/QUOTE] Or just add a turbocharger to the engine Comes at the cost of fuel efficiency but lets the car go faster
I agree with Obama.

[QUOTE=James*;17537206]You kids in the US get ridiculously long summer holidays anyway[/QUOTE] True, but our long days more than make up for that.
I would like Obama to pass this. The reality is that we are falling behind (way behind) in the world.
My pre-calc teacher has one degree in food packaging goddamn also he's a terrible teacher
[QUOTE=thatguy56;17554645]True, but our long days more than make up for that.[/QUOTE] Hours?
Spain has 13 weeks, newbs! But we have 3 throughout the year. :<
I don't understand how: Children who don't want to learn + Shortened Vacations = Children who do want to learn
if anything this will just create a bigger schism in testing scores those who perform well in school and enjoy it will have more time to do well those who hate school and do shitty in it will get more shitty grades hurrah

[QUOTE=Dominik93;17537306]Over here in germany we only get 6 weeks of summer vacation... :|[/QUOTE] 12 weeks here in Belgium :smug: And I got 12,5 hours of class a week. And half of them is playing music. And classes are fun. :smug:
the problem is the schools are useless, teachers sit around doing nothing and classrooms are overpopulated sending people to school for more time in the year is dumb if they don't improve everything else first
Kickass, Revenge of the Nerds.

Obama isn't going to have the chance to do this, It would take WAY more time than 4 years to implement this(efficiently), and by the looks of his ratings, he's not going to get re-elected.
[QUOTE=Archive;17547746]I don't really mind, Summer Vacation is extremely boring anyways.[/QUOTE] Get a life and friends. [editline]06:13PM[/editline] [QUOTE=Cloak Raider;17552299]Hooray! June to September? What the fuck. March to September, fix that shit.[/QUOTE] I know what you meant to say

Ugh, god dammit. Schools don't need to lengthen the time that we spend in class, they need to improve on the material which is taught. It's really going to affect me though, because while most people go back to school in September, my school district (Might be state wide, I forget which) shortened our Summer break up to the beginning of September.

Wouldn't it cost schools to stay open longer though? I mean, I'm not sure how my school could manage it.
will just result in more homeschooled kids because SOCIALIST PUBLIC SCHOOLS while the intentions are good, this will ultimately turn out to work towards the interests of those who want to keep the public uneducated and keep marking (R) on the ballot paper.

[QUOTE=Doriol;17558969]not really[/QUOTE] You haven't read the thread either, have you?
Fuck. It's not that bad but I'm kind of pissed of.
Hilarious how everyone worships Obama until it affects them. Then they all wish McCain was president. Nice work yet again, morons. I'm all for this though, more days out of the year I get to work and take home a pay check. Summers were absolutely murdering me.
