Just more time away from family influence and more time for indoctrination.

My homeschooled children never spent more than 2 hours a day in formal study. The rest of the time they played and had outside activities.
Honestly...What are schools doing all day that can't be finished in 2 serious hours of study?
( We did homeschool Monday through Friday all year except for major holidays and my husband's 4 weeks of vacation.)

Again, obama is either a liar or a complete idiot.
It’s not how much time you spend in school, it’s a matter of what you do when you are there.
We could shorten the school year to six months a year and give kids a better education than they are receiving now, IF the right people were in charge and given the freedom to educate...

My 14 year old granddaughter says they could teach what she learned in half the time if teachers were efficient.

He just wants to hire more unionized teachers to indoctrinate our children year-round.
If he can't get rid of them in the womb, he wants them dumped in kid prison from birth till they pay taxes.

Another example of the 0’s phony centrism. Talk tough, do nothing while his fan club in the failed media propagandize for him.

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.

“But the challenges of a new century demand more time in the classroom.”
Doing what? Studying what?
“Classroom” is one of those words that always sounds noble, yet in the hands of fools should cause revulsion.
The last thing I’d want for my own mind is to have art, history, science filtered through the perverted minds of teachers like...Obama.

I can deal with ruining our economy, ignoring our allies, selling out Israel, etc. But now he has really done it.

You got that right. How does Obama plan to pay for this? Does he think union teachers are going to work more hours for free? Ha!
To: COUNTrecount
Typical liberal thinking... If something is a complete and utter disaster, it’s because there’s not enough of it.

Not only unions but it would cost a fortune. I hear they are talking about four day school weeks. Obama is not even in the zone on this one.
To: COUNTrecount
Never happen...one word...unions. The union has been fighting to extend hours for years. It also wants public education to start at birth. Obama is saying what the NEA wants him to say. They'll just hire more "educators" to handle the added time. More dues for the union. More voters tied to the Democrat party for their income.
To: COUNTrecount
Maybe if the schools spent less time on feel-good activities, on political correctness, and on praise songs for our Dear Leader, they could more done during the current school day and school year.

Never happen...one word...unions.I'd say it depends on how much is involved. And the possibility of new hires.
