I like the idea of extending the hours. I could learn a lot more.

However, if the current school times here aren't changed in the process, I will cry. School starts for me at 7:15. That means I would leave school around 4 or 5ish. If the hours change, I'm all for this.

well you may like the idea of increasing school's hour by daylight. But, if that happens I don't think we have anytime to enjoy ourselfs. The more hour's also means more homework and well...at least he won't increase school days from Monday to Saturday. that be just too much.

Not all school curriculums in America are easy. It really depends on where that comment is coming from. My school, for example, has classes for all levels of learning. There's a class for self contained students, a general class, a class for those interested in continuing their education in higher education, a class for those who are considered to be giften in a subject, and advanced placement. Advanced placement is only available for the core classes (English, a foreign language, Science, History, Math, etc). For the most part, though, there's a level of difficulty in every course available in my school.

Lengthening school hours seems to be a decision that's really up to the government, I suppose. I mean, of course it is, but if they feel that American students would be better off with more hours in school, why would I argue with that? It's education, after all.

I'm all for it. We need a better school system, granted longer doesn't always mean better, longer would still help. Besides, I'll be out of high school by the time this kicks in.
So you tell me you actually think we should have more hours of school instead of atleast using 10% of our childhood thinking for our own, inventing, creating, self educating? We should spend more hours in a stuffy classroom literally not learning anything important for future jobs, or really anything important at all?

If this is passed, I'm going to riot. I'm going to get all my friends to riot. I'm going to get my friends families and friends to riot. If you pass this Obama, I swear over my dead body I will get the greatest juvenile revolt the world has ever seen, mark my words :\

So just because it doesn't affect you personally, you are all for it? That is really selfish, you know.
And raising school hours won't help; giving kids more of what they don't want never helps.
The only way that America can give their kids a better education is by putting them back in line and motivating them.

I agree. I'm all for the opposing education stimulus bill, "Every day is a snow day." I think taking away the things that kids don't like, like education, will make for a better and more constructive learning environment. :3

It's just a propaganda thing to forward his agenda.
... Not really, but seriously Obama? An idiot could see that the hours are not the problem. It's the entire schooling system, and the Government getting involved would only make things worse.

(also note: the teacher's union and American education in general is run by, you guessed it, leftists. :O coincidence?)

No, it is just pure coincidence, these are just the stupid liberals. There are stupid people on every side. You can't look at every single similarity and say that "LOOK, they have X similarities, therefore Y."But I do fail to see how government involvement would be just absolutely DESTROY all of our efforts, albeit with exaggeration in my post.

But seriously, look at this.

But let me just guess; it his his socialist agenda. Then after that happens, he can use the death panels on you and pull the plug on grandma. Am I right?
