Obama YEAR ROUND SCHOOL YEAR DX

[DrMobius]

If they did year round school, I'd be content with 2 week or so breaks just to put it into perspective.

They have (I believe) 4-5 breaks. Each is about 2 weeks.

And I wonder if it could be that the rest of America that voted for him are stupid.

Or just did it because everyone else was
Or because they'd be seen as tribal if they didn't.
I voted McCain. Yeah, I lost, but as far as I know, Obama has already made America seem a bit more tolerable to foreign countries as I have seen a definite drop in "We hate America" threads, reports, ect. where I frequent. So I suppose it can't be all too terrible to have him there if not just for improving foreign relations.

I believe that this could be a good idea. Maybe not year round, only like maybe 200-260 days instead of 180. It would be more like European and Asian school systems. However, I do not believe that a longer day would help. Increasing the school day would just exhaust students (including me) more, and this would cause us to not work as hard. On the other hand, if we can raise the standards for teachers and the curriculum these days, it would be equally as good. I don't want America to fall behind other countries since we are (or could be more so) a great country compared to the many third world countries. Although if he does end up making the school year all year round, he should also increase the break size and the amount of breaks we have. I say increase the school year: Maybe. Increase the School day: Not at all.

Don't be babies, deal with it. School isn't all that bad. But I do enjoy breaks too.

We are not better, probally worse than them.

I would have voted for McCain. Obama isn't that bad, at least things are improving somewhat...
