I live in Georgia, so schools here already start in August. Kids here already only have 2 months of vacation. So, extending school hours would really impact on many young people's social lives, not to mention kids not having enough time to enjoy life.

yeah if this happened this would affect the time spending with family and with other activities out of school plus cutting our summer in half or even more would have me looking forward to crappy small breaks

I think that attending school hours is bogus. Why would we want to do that. If we do this i wont have any time to do sports or anything. and by the end of the day i will be so tired. And some of us kids have to work and have things going on in our lives. Tax payers would be paying for this crap. This is ridiculous.

I work in a school district- Teachers scramble constantly to adhere to laws and raise the quality of education through a strict and standard based curriculum. It seems to me the tools are in place for the performance the world expects.
The problem begins withthe motivation of the students themselves. Also, all parents are not supportive of their children's education due to many reasons I will not get into here. Maybe if parents werre held more accountable for their children's education, that would help.
Lastly, the pay of teachers and staff is a joke. We work hard and have the children's best interests at heart, sometimes using their own funds for educational lessons. Most teachers just want to motivate children to WANT to learn. If they WANT to learn, and have support at home, TEST SSCORES WILL RISE AND PERFORMANCE AS WELL. There is NO NEED to extend school hours.
