Obama to Cut Summer Vacation??

[ABC7]

Adding more hours to the school day and extending the scholastic year won't help one bit. It will only be more costly for running the schools and the students would be more worn out. If Obama wants education to be reformed, get better teachers and invest to improve facilities.

Yah, like firing teachers who refuse to give grades or use red ink because it might hurt the student's feelings. Getting rid of the unions would help too.

I feel like writing to Obama regarding this issue. Wish me luck.

UPDATE: I've already written to Obama, hoping to curb his decision.

Wish me luck!

I feel bad for supporting Obama last year. This year isn't successful, and I admit Obama made many mistakes this year.

Yeah, I have to agree with everyone here...

i think its just a waste of time to target this sector of the public. Obama should just worry about bigger things like the economy itself and spending less time on pork based politics (wasteful spending and bringing the olympics to chicago) that has been stalling our country for decades.

I'm for this cutting back a little on summer vacation in favor of more school.

OMG, can you imagine how much money and paper this country would save if we eliminated pork barrel spending!? The health care bill, for example, would probably end up being only about 25 pages.

A single letter isn't enough to change decisions

2 years ago, we had an hour added extra to the school year, it makes each class 70 mins long, any more hours and ill be dead by the end of the day.

You wont like block scheduling. 90min classes. They suck

Doesn't surprise me. Obama and the lunatics he associates with are full of dumb ideas.

Thank god im not the only one who has felt that from the start.
