More expansion of Government that always seems to be the answer for this President.
Here is video of President Obama saying, I think we should have longer school years. He made the statement in answer to a question about whether it was being considered to move to a year-round school year.
Obama said he thinks it would benefit students to go to school longer, although he did say it would cost more. But, he said, it would be money well spent.
Of course, you know where that money will come from.

If it was long enough for us...it's long enough for them.
And I believe that there needs to be more family time which means no homework until high school....
And...no computers until 5th grade....

Communist goals 17 and 40 of 45 presented on the US house floor in 1963.
17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers associations. Put the party line in textbooks.
40. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.

Yah. Keep those kids away from their rotten parents, crummy family trips, and useless time spent with Mom and Dad.

Longer school year?
It would be easier to move ground level.
Sorry, that was funny...

Try getting that by the Chamber of Commerce’s for every shore town and vacation area in the country. Every day camp and sleepaway camp.
Yeah, this will fly.

I doubt he even asked the teachers if they want any make work.
I’m guessing they like things just the way they are.

Oddly enough, the LAUSD just knocked out a week of attendance on both ends of the school year for BUDGET constraints. Also a full week off for Thanksgiving and almost a month off for “Winter Break.” Ø steps forward. 2 steps back.

Close all the public schools. Universal education was a nobel experiment, but a failure.
Home schooling for all.
Because about 80% of parents will fail, there will seem to be an explosion of feral children, followed by a glut of cheap very unskilled labor.
Equilibrium will be attained in a generation of two by the advent of car wash-like, drive through Gamma ray abortion franchises.
We will become more like Red China everyday./sarc sort of
