[QUOTE=Sinbues;25095651]what good is it if everyone fucks around for that month?[/QUOTE] Not everyone will. You may, and your friends may, but there will be plenty of students who grasp at the opportunity to get out of the home and further their education. I'm sorry you need 3 months of vacation as a break from learning to get your retard on.
[QUOTE=FreakyMe;25095560]You know what poor kids do on those 3 months off? Deteriorate. They are not in sports camp, or space camp, or taking violin lessons, or anything productive, because their parents cannot afford to keep them occupied. They spend 3 solid months attached to a non educational schedule, and what they learned literally leaves them.[/QUOTE] Which should show you how completely terrible the current system is from a quality standpoint. I had a science teacher several years ago in middle school that taught fantastically well, and lo and behold, I still remember most of what I learned in that class. Meanwhile teachers like my aforementioned history teacher that just shove shit down our throats expecting miracles to occur teach me nothing that I retain. It wouldn't matter if we had no vacation at all. You can't learn from poor teaching. Sure, you can memorize, but that's entirely different from learning.

[QUOTE=SgtCr4zyAlt;25095673]the problem is taking the easy solution and saying "go to school longer" isn't go to do jack shit. dropout rates will stay the same, nothing will really improve. fuck, there have been some schools that have 4 day weeks instead of 5 and they do better.[/QUOTE] I am not saying that we do not need other improvements, but lengthening the school year will be a nice first step. We have a lot of work ahead of us, but we can't start doing it until we actually make the first step happen.

[QUOTE=bepassley;25095228]oh xxncxx the next 8 years of school are going to be hell for you xD[/QUOTE] You mean the next 3 right?

[QUOTE=Sinbues;25095717]because a month with [B]ur[/B] shitty teachers sure will help[/QUOTE] And here is why you Americans need a longer education.
[QUOTE=MrEndangered;25095742]And here is why you Americans need a longer education.[/QUOTE] because i care so much for my internet grammer ty sir
Really the system needs more funding, but it's probably the cheapest and most logical way of doing something at the moment while Iraq winds down.
[QUOTE=MrEndangered;25095742]And here is why you Americans need a longer education.[/QUOTE] Because everyone type on the internet how they would write in real life right?
[QUOTE=Sinbues;25095761]because i care so much for my internet grammer ty sir[/QUOTE] i c ty ty gg
[QUOTE=TAU!;25095275]Increase quality, not quantity.[/QUOTE] The students that we're worried about don't give a shit if you increase quality.

[QUOTE=MrEndangered;25095742]And here is why you Americans need a longer education.[/QUOTE] And here is why you English need a lesson on not being stereotypical. How do you know he is American?
[QUOTE=MrEndangered;25095774]i c ty ty gg[/QUOTE] fuck i actually understood that dammit i need to get outside some more
I was going to say it's better until I remembered that Swedish students have a lot of vacation and school for only half of the day, yet have better results than everyone else in Europe
The school system is a joke. It's ridiculously easy. The students who wish to succeed will work in school, those who don't will fail. You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink.
[QUOTE=MIPS;25095119]The japanese seem to be okay with it.[/QUOTE] Yeah, look at all the cool shit they're creating.
[QUOTE=xxncxx;25095793]And here is why you English need a lesson on not being stereotypical. How do you know he is American?[/QUOTE] How do you know I'm English? :smug:
[QUOTE=Sinbues;25095790]np bro[/QUOTE] :frog: It's still a bit more logical to perhaps just split up what would be summer break into about 4 or 5 pieces and spread them out throughout the year. I honestly did lose some things I learned, more than I wanted, in the past school years.
goddamn our country sucks ass
[QUOTE=Hostel;25095854]:frog:[/QUOTE] ah................................... my feelings...........................shit.............
[QUOTE=Aurora93;25095861]goddamn our country sucks ass[/QUOTE] everything about america sucks giant fat overweight ass
[QUOTE=SgtCr4zyAlt;25095705]if those students were really like that they wouldn't do bad at all after the summer. this will only troll the good kids and just annoy the troublemakers.[/QUOTE] Aww.. well too bad! You try going to work and telling your boss that without 3 months of vacation a year you won't be as happy as you can possibly be. Let's see how he responds, eh? It's life, and it is part of growing up.

Let's see how he responds, eh? It's life, and it is part of growing up.[/QUOTE] That's pretty much the best way to put it. [QUOTE=Sinbues;25095960]this is school not a job.[/QUOTE] Speaking as if school is less important than a job, or as if school should not be as demanding. School should give kids a spine so they are ready for the real world. It's not that it should not be fun, with organized events, rally's, games, etc, but we have about 3 months just sitting there, waiting to be used.
[QUOTE=Sinbues;25095960]this is school not a job.[/QUOTE] School really is your first job. How old are you? Maybe in a few years you will understand.
[QUOTE=FreakyMe;25095990]School really is your first job. How old are you? Maybe in a few years you will understand.[/QUOTE] how is it a job when its so easy to pass the classes, i dont see why your bitching about you not having enough time to remember simple shit that they give to you to remember for graduation exams and EQT's or whatever the fuck they call them in your area.
