What's your opinon on it?
I just saw this article, and I think he's absolutely insane. 3 hours?? and a shorter summer break? I would be at school from 8:00AM -6 PMHow can anyone even think of that. School is so stressful for me, I am bad at math and I have AP classes. I get homework alot, and I cannot even believe someone would suggest such a ridiculious idea. It would only stress kids out more, not help them. They'd have no free time for after school activities, relaxing, and doing homework. I'm a junior, so I know I'd be out before they'd do this but I cannot imagine the amount of stress younger students will have. I already told my mom if they do this, I'm getting homeschooled. I hate school as it is, I can't even stay 1 more minute then I have to in school, but 3 hours?? Summer is the only way I'd stay sane.
Imagine all the other problems this will lead to, higher electricity bills for school, paying teacher salaries, tighter budgets and more tax money needed means high taxes. I don't see how he thinks this will improve those idiotic standardized test scores we're forced to take (thanks bush). Just from my personal experience (dealing with both me and my friends) adding more hours will be a bad idea. It would add even more stress, and most kids WILL not be able to focus on anything at all for that long - I know I couldn't. Not to mention the # of absences and drop out rates will only increase. Yeah, Obama brilliant idea.
Sorry lol this just has me in a bit of a rage. These radical ideologies are why I am in Independent.
