Education

Making the school year longer is only going to hurt our education. The fact of the matter is, America has been trying to compete with the Chinese and South Korean educational systems for 20 years, increasing the amount of state tests, homework etc. But the problem is American students aren't Chinese students, our students are lazier. Ya know who has the best educational system in the world? Finland, and their kids don't start Kindergarten until they are 7 years old, state tests don't start until they're teenagers and they get more of a choice as to what they want to do in high school. They do the best because the kids actually pursue the education they want to unlike here in America where we force them what to learn even when the kids just aren't naturally enthusiastic or good at a certain subject. We should pursue Finland's education model, it's perfect.
