I know for a fact in my local Los Angeles School district they got wayyyyy too much minimuim days
Where kids get off on Tuesday at 12:45pm every Tuesday while high school kids get off 1pm on Wednesday
How about that Mr President
Quality, Obama, not quantity. Apparently, all those years of education did you no good.
Don’t worry kids. The teachers’ union will never let this happen.
Oh, the unions will support this if it means hiring MORE union members.
Ex-science teacher here... The current teacher contracts will stay at about 180 days for a 6-hr day (plus a few non-teaching duties), but districts will have to hire aides and additional teachers to staff the after-school and summer programs.
Schools in many locales do not have air conditioning and would have to be retrofitted for summer classes. Janitors would have to be hired for additional/longer shifts.
But why do more of the same failed thing? Unless schools change to a disciplined model such as KIPP, adding more time doing stupid things inefficiently doesn’t make sense.
BTW, the photo caption accompanying the article is wrong. No way is that thing a guinea pig heart!
