fichbowl part 2

I read a post titled 180 days, and it talks about how there are many days of the school year that are not used for instruction. There also was a power point linked to the post that showed all the days that were not used for instruction. Some of the topics included the first day of class rewards, student and teacher sick days. The discussion was started by a college class was discussing a video and how the video incorporated technology in the classroom.

I agree that a large part of the school year is not used for student education. I think there are a lot of extracurricular activities that can be removed and the students may focus more on education. I think the extracurricular activities should be only for the students ho are passing. The rest of the time should be devoted to the children and their education.
