President Obama: School year must be extended by month for US students
basstronix:
Well said VC. The problem is not with the teachers nor the duration of a semester. It's with the students. We've got life pretty easy in America; we can be lazy asses and still make a living. That's not the case in China or India. Those guys rape their brains just to have a shot at making 1% the income an American counterpart would.

Sure extend school by a month, BUT, like said before, more money to be spent on tuition, loans, books, and all that good stuff. After bailing out bank after bank, how the hell are the teachers going to get paid?? Here in South Carolina, teachers are being laid off left and right.. This is stupid.

I know from my experience the first 2 months going back to school were trying to relearn what we were taught before the summer break... not so easy :/

The rate of people that quit school earlier than normal in Quebec is really high (I'm one of them.)
If they would add up a month in here it would be even worse, Its already bad enough as it is...
As for USA, I don't even get why he's adding one more month, If you get good teachers, You can learn everything you need to learn in 8 months, Getting an extra month will just cost more money and will waste the time of teachers and children.

Aye cap'n.
Funny how it seems that they never considered the idea of improving how we use our existing school time more effectively.
