Reuters – U.S. President Barack Obama addresses the 65th United Nations General Assembly at the U.N. headquarters
In the article (click title of this post), it is being reported that Obama is advocating for longer school years by as much as month, comparing Japan and even China as examples.
Obama states the importance of better teachers, who are given better materials, as well as getting rid of those instructors who are not satisfying classroom demands.
Like everything, this will require our government to pour more money into a failing system.
"It's been tried," she said, describing one instance of a Topeka-area elementary school that scrapped year-round schooling after just one year. "The community was just not ready for kids to be in school all summer long. Kids wanted to go swimming. Their families wanted to go on vacation."There is no more money Obama. You've spent it all. Public schools have become a joke. I have gone to both private and public schools. The private school I attended, not only had more snow days, more holidays, but, shorter school years to top it all off and, they got more done in a semester than public school, by far. Private schools are allowed more control over their classrooms and, it's important for them to compete. Competition allows for schools to strive for better education, creating better students.
If you really care about education Obama, why not support school vouchers and do what Bush didn't get to finish? There are a lot of minorities, and poor people in this country who would like the opportunity for their children to have better and, send them to private school, like you are able to do with your children, Obama. You did say you were for the "little guy," right? Why not prove it?
