Kids do not need more hours in school. They need better schools and more qualified teachers. And I wish schools would stop curving grades, it is now so bad my kids are complaining about it.

Please read post #29.

Better or more qualified teachers, and an end to curving grades will not fix the government schools.

Government schools are an object lesson in socialism. Just by attending kids learn to be comfortable with accepting money from their neighbor to pay for something their parents want for free.

As someone who's been in the front of the class for over 30 years I do agree with you. Every five years someone develops a "new" approach that reinvents the wheel. Only they make it hexagonal not circular.

The younger teachers are always enthusiatic that the magic bullet has been found. I remind them that the era of screw down desks and inkwells took us to the Moon and we've never been back.
