"Education Secretary Arne Duncan has his way, kids would be spending a lot more time at school "

This is just a scam to get more tax payer $$$ in the hands of the teachers and their unions. Spending more time in a classroom with incompetent teachers will not get you a better educated child.

It would be better to keep your child home and away from these 'educators'.

Someone remind me, why we even have an “Education Secretary” anyway.

It is much worse than that. Think about it, 12 hours a day 7 days a week. Children would almost never see their parents. No listening to the news during dinner with parental commentary. The only information kids will get is the information that Obama wants them to here. All interaction with other kids would be under the supervision of Obama's people. This isn't just another scam thought up by the teachers to get more money. This is turning our kids into Hitler youth.

Ding, Ding, Ding! We have a winner!

Follow the money. This is simply about creating more members for the teachers unions.
