The idea of extending the school day—and year—is gaining momentum. (Sorry, kids.)

3. Some teachers don't feel that they have enough time to devote to actual analytical teaching and only have time to focus on basics during class periods.
More people are gaining interest in having longer school days and not allowing for a summer break, people believe this custom is outdated.
There have been tax cuts to public education, taking away the extracurricular classes such as music and art, and if these are taken away all you are left with is constant reading and math. If they have to constantly focus on those things, students and teachers will slowly lose interest.
2. Why would they make the changes to time, but not public school funding?
Why don't they take into consideration the students ideas? This new system, I believe could easily take away from any enjoyment in school.
1. Obama proposes either extending the school day, or extending the school year.
