Obama tries to shorten Summer Vacation!?!?!

LINK

:x

NO!!! I love my long summer.

What do you think? Discuss!

:)

god knows american students could use a leg up. keep those kids cooped up so we can catch up to the chinese in book learnin'

i swear.......Obama if you pass this i will personally hunt you down:P nah but seriously that is stupid

Well, that's certainly a sure sign that kids can't vote. :P

I don't really know anything about the effect it'd have or the school years in other countries, so I don't really know nearly enough to be able to comment on it.

Thank God. Summer vacation is nothing but misery. And God knows the little brats need more time in school.

GO OBAMA!

God I swear, Obama has tried to pass some of the dumbest new laws/regulations. Some are just absurd.

Go Obama!

There are a lot of kids who sit around and don't do anything in school. There are a lot of kids who skip classes, don't do their homework, and waste time. There are even a lot of kids who show up but don't get anything out of their classes. Adding more school days won't necessarily have a positive impact on everyone, or even most students. Just because you're attending more days doesn't mean you'll be learning more or gaining anything.

The kids who want to be good students will be good students, and the kids who want to be bad students will be bad students.
Adding more time and more school days won't do anything but piss people off.

How long do you get in the US? We have 6 weeks in England, but much of Europe has longer summer hols.jimmyjammer69

I agree kids now a days should go to school all year round. Go Obama

Agreed. Making summer vacation might help things, or they might not do anything at all. Then again, I can see a lot of people who still go to school automatically against this without really thinking too much about it.

3 months, June - August into school early September.

:D

Screw that decision.

3 more hours??

I get out at 3:30.

SO 6:30 PM I WOULD LEAVE SCHOOL?

theres no way thats gonna work out.

Its not about quantity. Its quality.

If we had a better education system, we wouldnt need this. Just improve education, dammit, even though Im a senior, dont make it so that we have to spend 3 more hours in school everyday with our stupid teachers, who would hate it just as much, because they would be paid any more, and they would have to work 3 hours longer.

That just doesnt work out, man. Dropping out would be much more common, its not like the kids will be like "OH WOW 3 MORE HOURS A DAY! NOWS I CAN LEARNS EVERYTHING!!!"

I'm in undergrad so I don't think I have to deal with this.... If I do kfdnskjfndsjfdsfnsknfdsnfjsn Eh, well I don't get summer anyway :P

But if I was in grade school I would bang my head against a wall, really really really hard.

I think I heard of this I know next year at my school instead of going to school from Sept 1-jun16 it will be sometime in August-the third week of may. it would suck for an underclassmen but being a senior I can't wait for the year to start and then end.

The American Primary and Secondary education is suffering. Solution? Look at the countries with the best system and model ours after them. Locke562

The problem is our teachers don't teach anymore. Not the amount of time spent in the classroom. :|
