President Obama: School year must be extended by month for US students to compete with China, India
""There's nothing more important than the issue we're talking about today," he said.
Students in China, India and other fast-growing countries are already leaving U.S. students in the dust, he said."
"Asked about incompetent teachers, Obama agreed there were some bad apples in the classrooms and that they need to be removed."
The man has a plan, and I'm sure it is more than just extending the school year by one month. Now we just need to see how he intends to fix the problem in this country.
