I had the great good fortune to get sent to prep school when my grandmother left some money for schooling in her will.
We spent about a month less time in that prep school than I had in our public school (supposedly one of the best in the country). Yet I learned at least twice as much.
Since then, most public schools use up more time and teach much less than they did in the past.
Obama’s goal is, no doubt, to have school all year long but teach the kids nothing useful at all.
That’s the socialist way.
A lot of private schools have less than 180 days a year and their kids don’t have a hard time getting into college or doing well on SAT’s, ACT.
