Class Discussion -Education

I didn't think that we would have alot to say for this class discussion because I thought we all agreed on the same things. But I was so wrong because people still had alot to say, and it was really interesting to see the different ideas that my classmates had. I wasn't so surprised when people disagreed with my idea of wanting to expand school hours. I expected them to disagree, but some people didn't really seem to mind, which did surprised me. I know I didn't really explain myself and get my point across, but I really do think longer school days would benifit us. We could take our time to learn our lessons instead of just memorizing things. We would be so much more prepared for when we graduate. People think that longer school hours will be a drag and we would get tired of being in school. But along with having a longer school day, we'd find new ways to learn and take the classes we actaully want to take, teachers would have time to help us,even longer lunches, I really believe we would benifit from this. I also believe we need to get rid of Tenure, because the bad teachers are keeping the kids behind. And we are also wasting money with having teachers who don't make a difference. I also believe the "Rubber Room" needs to be gone because the money being used to pay those bad teachers is wasted, and should be used for our edducation[technology, teachers, etc].
