  Tell Target to Save Thanksgiving

  Having worked retail years ago, I feel sad for all the workers who have to miss family time to get stores open at 12am....I thought 6am was bad in my day...Why don't stores run specials spread out over more days instead of all this early early early bird nonsense??

  Longer School Days and Shorter Summers to Improve Standards

  The other day my son, an 8th grader commented that education would by focusing on quality, not quantity (longer school years). And I agree. When the current administration is making recommendations like this, I think they have a skewered vision of what a school day is like, that every child is getting the same experience that the President's girls are. I don't see what is to be gained by year round schooling, when it would be just more of the same, which unfortunately in my son's school, means sitting around doing not much, watching "Numbers" to learn "advanced math", learning about verbs (in 8th grade!). I wish more teachers were as motivated as the previous poster, but unfortunately they are not, and longer school years would not help motivation, on the teachers' or students' part. Education reform needs to look at more than standardized test scores, and look at student experience.
