![]() I heard about it. Personally, I don't think that extending the school days/ hours is going to help. The problem is that our schools don't push students hard enough, and eventually, it boils down the the students themselves. Students in Taiwan, China, Japan, Korea, etc. usually try to strive and be the best, number one in their class, while just a few don't care about their schooling. However, in American, many students don't really care that much about their education, while a few value it and take advantage of it.
In order to make our schools better, it's not the number of school days, but how we are taught and the way we can we convinced and pushed to become better students.

![]() Get used to it. Get an education honestly, it's the best thing you CAN do. If I could I would go back to school, it was so much easier, now I have to wake up go to work, go home. I get a 2 day weekend, yet I hardly get a ****ed weekend, because I am so tired from the week of work. Yet I survive, you can't go thinking that "Oh, my day is so hard. I get up at 8am, go to school for 6-7hours, go home at 2-3pm, then I sit on my butt all day staring at a T.V. doing nothing. Just losing more brain-cells." You get what? 3 months in the summer off? Just look at it like this. Enjoy the time you get in school, don't care about how many ****ed hours you go to school for. You earn your education by paying attention. Cause' once you get out here in the real world, your going to want to go back to School. The little pitiful 6-7hour days become 8-12hour days maybe more. No summer Vacation. No Spring Break. No Christmas Vacation. No Vacation anymore. At my work place, I get 3 weeks paid Vacation, but I have to post it on the Vacation Board at work, notify my boss, and then tell him what I will be doing. I've already booked my 3 weeks for my wedding and honeymoon.
Just get over yourself. You can disagree all you want, it's your choice to go to school. Drop out, and work at McDonalds your whole life. Stay in school, get an education, head to College maybe University and then get a really good job, paying somewhere between $25.00-$50.00(starting Canada) after you finish your schooling. Don't be stupid. No reason to even bother with *****ing about school. Your getting something that YOU NEED in life, and look. If you are 14 years old, you still 4-5 years of mooching off your parents! Just stay in school. It's what you need in life. Blade. |

![]() I am in school and im against it. I know it might seem like im only saying this cause i don't want to go to school but i see it like this...
start rant... I see it as the longer we are in school the more bored and tired and the less you will listen or pay attention. But if they decressed the amount of hours we wont become so tired. I think it would be cool if it school was just monday,tuesday,thursday,friday. this was monday through tuesday we learn and then wed we have off so we can catch up and so we can rest up so that way we won't be so tired. then thursday through friday. even if the teachers gave a small project on wed even still we would not be so tired end rant... |

![]() lenthining school hours is a terrible idea, im in 9th grade and i sit in a desk for 7 hours mon-friday, and con sidering that we have 180 school days a year.. 7x180= 1260.. thats 1260 hours a year we spend sitting at desks all day. do you really think you want to add more to that, and for example, take how ever much you make on your pay check and times it by 1260.. that how much money you could make instead of sitting at school all day.
and yes i have a summer job.

![]() That last post made me agree with the Pres.
"lenthining" "con sidering" :P I'm just picking on you. And here's how I see it. Kind of agreeing with whoever said we get bored/tired in school. Instead of 7 hours a day, for Mon-Fri, I personally think it should be Mon-Sat, but only 4 1/2 to 5 hours a day, starting no earlier than 10am.

![]() The government has no control over state regulations. But they do have control over the state's federal funding. See the pickle? Hence why we have no autobahn.
And stop *****ing about 7 hour school days. What are you gonna do when you have a job? Count that many of your honor students have many extra-curricular activities tacked onto even harder classes, and they do just fine with sleep.

What I find strange is that while this talk about extending school days and hours is going on during the recession and schools are getting their funds cut left and right. California is even discussing cutting a week off of school to save money, much less than extending school days and hours to suck up the rest of the nearly nonexistent money California has.

![]() Over the course of my education the school days have been lengthened and lengthened each and every year; whether it be by school choice or push from State mandated curriculum. Also, to my understanding, much of this State mandated curriculum is pushed by the Federal Government. From this I can see how while the Federal Government cannot make rules or regulations stating schools must go from certain time to certain time, but they can otherwise have a major influence on what is going on within the schools.
Sadly, it could happen.. Thankfully, I will have graduated by the time it does happen.. ![]() Cheers, Kyle.

I read the same article. No way am I going to stay 'til 6, I'd jsut stage a protest and walk out with a bunch of other students. I'm okay with my current schedule (8:30AM-3:00PM, our high school is packed so the freshmen head hancho at the jr. high) which is 6 1/2 hours. We cant go another half hour or the elementary students will need to wait. They say that our scores are lower because nobody gives a ---- anymore! Last year about 3 kids in my math class of 20 actually did their work without looking in the back of the book! Increasing would make them even more ignorant, and then grades would fall even lower. And remember, all work and no play makes Johhny a dull boy, so no super short summers! |

![]() I was actually talking about this to some friends a few days ago. im really against this idea, seeing it wouldnt really benefit us at all. because if you make school longer and more days also, then the kids that already hate school will just hate it even more. and the ones who do like it and do good, just get stressed out even more with no real break to calm em down( I.E summer vacation). I know what its like for both sides since i dont care that ,such any way, and half of my friends are those who need to do good in school, they are always so stressed out, you can never really have a good conversation until the summer when they actually dont have to work all the dang time. Also, as one of my very smart friends said, he really cant do anything about the education seeing that it is state run, not government run. and theres my lecture on this subject. now i av to right an English paper.
