I just watched aone of those screaming-heads segments on the news discussing proposals from President Obama and the Education Scretary that pushed forward an idea that one of the ways U.S. kids can catch up with the education of much of the world's children is for a longer school day.
The TV host ranted against a pro-longer day guest that he doesn't want to have to wait until 6 or 7 at night to have dinner with his kids to be able to see them.
In the course of the ranting and raving, the TV host admitted that he worked until 9 p.m., so he doesn't see his kids for dinner NOW, so what does it matter if kids stay at school a couple of extra hours, as long as the extra teaching time is spent actually teaching.
I'm getting fed up with the TV and radio foamers-at-the-mouth trying to work up the populace into a lather over proposals and other ideas the president is offering.
The status quo isn't working. Why not try some new ideas. They may just work. How about that!?!
