MY OWN children aren't the point. They spent days and weeks chained to their beds and were fed soggy dog kibble when they were good and were drug around by the neighborhood bullies when they weren't.

President Obama says American kids spend too little time in school, which puts our children at a disadvantage with other students around the world. Obama wants kids to spend more time in school, less time on summer vacations? According to the President:

Now, I know longer school days and school years are not wildly popular ideas. Not with Malia and Sasha, not in my family, and probably not in yours. But the challenges of a new century demand more time in the classroom.

President Obama would like schools to add time to classes, to stay open late and to let kids in on weekends so they have a safe place to go. I asked my children about the President’s plan for more school time and the opinion around MY house was a big thumbs down!

How about simply more QUALITY education, in the time that they are CURRENTLY in school???
More teachers, smaller class sizes, and educator admins that give a damn??

That is WHY we moved out of the District we were in. The Admins there could not care less about the kids except if you were a Sprots star then they would bend over to let you do whatever you wanted. Anykids with brains it was YO YO aholes.

of course there are people who like the idea.. those are the same ones who treat school as 'free babysitting'

sorry but i Think school was too long actually. i reach a point in the day where i can't learn anymore without forgetting something i learned earlier in the day.

i honestly feel i might have been better off home schooled and just given all the work to do. i'll ask questions if i have any.
