I get 9 weeks off school (private school ftw) but there are two problems:
One, I am terrible at appreciating what I have and I am already bored.
Two, I will get back to school and remember NOTHING.
I think that several shorter terms with several shorter holidays is the answer, personally. But of course, we all have to do exams so that the government can test the teachers and therefore that wouldn't work. ¬_¬

Making a longer school year wouldn't do anything except cause more stress. They could already be teaching what they teach in one day in about 3 hours if they had to. I think they should just work on improving the education instead of trying to make kids sit in a classroom for a the whole year.
Because that's exactly what happens to kids throughout the rest of the world.DeadlyGlitch said:
I'm also not entirely convinced that kids need to express their individuality, our schools worked fine back before kids were allowed to have individuality. Or independent thoughts and opinions. And we could still beat them when they needed it.
They could if they didn't have to make sure every moron in class at least gets the basics of what was being taught. As it is, thanks to the no child left behind act, even the special kids have to be able to pass those tests. That means inclusion. Inclusion means those special kids have to be put in normal classes to be taught and retaught at the expense and to the detriment of the other students that are capable of understanding the materials. That's why teachers spend two weeks telling you the same thing over and over and over ad nauseum. That's why you have to take english every year and get taught every year what nouns and verbs are. It's not a teachers' idea, they're just as tired of doing it as the kids are of hearing it. Those things come down from on high, from a "C" average student that wouldn't have gotten into a community college if his daddy didn't have a shit ton of money.DeathsAmbassador said:
Honestly I can't comment, simply because I go to a private school. They don't abide to the government's term and day times, so it's pretty fucked up. For instance, I've been off school for 3 weeks already and the rest of my family has only just finished. And I had a 3 week easter holiday, only 1 week of which were spent with my family and my friends from my other school.
Hell yeah longer school year means the less aggravation from little kids, besides they'll get use to it.
Agree completely. Also, it's not school I have a problem with, it's homework, I know its a good way to get you to remember information, but the stress and time-consumption it creates does more harm than good in my opinion. Then again maybe it's because I go to school, when I finish it I might look at it differently.The infamous SCAMola said:
Almost my entire 8th Grade class would be proof of that. Hate to imagine High School having to deal with us.bodyklok said:
