Not sure he is wrong (that kids need more serious schooling for the modern era ahead, a better work ethic inculcated early) ... but then, I fail to see why GOVERNMENT should be the default operator of schools.
They could be educated a lot better in the same number of hours but that would upset the union. Don’t you know it takes 12 years of union teachers to get a kid to read on a 7th grade level?
Year round schooling doesn’t sound bad to me, but 12 hour school days are nutty.
They don’t do SH!T in 6 hours as it pertains to reading, writing and math. All they want is another 6 hour of pay and the ability to indoctrinate more left wing tripe.
Parents who fall for this are handing their future generations to a country and ideology wholly anti God aand bent on the destruction of this country.
I disagree other than adding a course in computers (which can replace those typing classes we all loved why do we need more time?
Has Calc/Trig/Algebra changes?
Has The English language/alphabet changed?
Has History changed (enough to warrant 30 more days of school)
In an eight hour school day you can spend 1.5 on math, 1 on reading writing, 1 rotating between a foreign language/history, 1 rotating between history/physed, and 1 on science..
The problem with education in America is not hours and its not money. It’s the distraction of teaching ‘good citizenship’ and ‘tolerance’.
There will be very few jobs in the future for the left side of the bell curve, which is half the population. Their jobs are either shipped to China, taken by illegals, or replaced by automation and robotics. There's no point in instilling a strong work ethic or wasting limited taxpayer resources on an equal-outcome education for all students.
Kids need time to be kids. They need to explore and play. They need time to be with their families. Would you enjoy a 12 hour work day, 7 days a week?
Children are not miniature adults. They have vastly different needs.
Then you must be vision-impaired...
The plan, since the late 1800's, has been to convert this Nation to marxism/socialism through the ONLY possible means...Government schools...
It has succeeded primarily because of the decades of criminal child-abuse by the parents who have continued to commit their offspring to these government indoctrination asylums...
We are at the endgame....Morons/serfs creating new morons/serfs who are obedient and dependent on the government...
