That story is from way back in September, I wouldn't worry about it, as the government is obviously onto other topics. That was one speech, several months ago, odd that it is coming up now after all this time.

Educators have long advocated for longer days and longer years, I have heard this most of my life. Nothing has gained momentum yet, and I doubt the entrenched teachers unions, influential summer programs, etc. would let this take effect anyway.

It's a theory, not an actual plan, i wouldn't worry about it.
