Schools can't teach the basics in 1080 hours

There is a growing trend in the schools to extend the school day and school year. Schools are adding an hour to the standard six hour day, and some are adding 20-40 days to the standard 180 day school year. Apparently 1080 hours a year just isn't enough time.

One definition of insanity is continuing to do the same thing and expecting different results. More time, more tests, and more money has not helped the schools in the last 30 years. Labeling it NCLB doesn't change that.

Still sounds like daycare to me!
