Longer School Days? Have they gone insane?

[mattkime]

The school systems definitely has problems and the majority of them start at home. Plenty of kids manage to get good educations while others float through. Yes, most of it has to do with parenting.

I have no idea where you live but in most areas of the country school years are getting longer.

Yes elmo, kids don't like going to school, but thats nothing more than an indication that you're not beating them enough.
