Is this about education? Nope. This is about helping the teacher unions get more pay. If this was about education then Obama would realize spending more time in dysfunctional schools won’t change a thing.
I have a secret for both Obama AND the teacher’s unions. Teachers will not be happy giving up time they get to grade papers and plan study to babysit longer, even for more money.
One of the MAJOR perks of being a teacher is summer break. I doubt many will find the few hundred a month extra enough to make up for it.
