In Indianapolis, the meetings just began today in hopes of making Indianapolis Public Schools change to a year round schedule. This was the first out of 5 public meetings being held before the decision is made on November 23 of this year. If approved by the school board, the intercessions will begin next August. Many people at the meeting stated that if this problem was solved by approving year round school, children would make better grades and there would be less trouble for them to get into. This issue has been on the agenda for a few years, and finally it is being adressed because many citizens are expressing their want for Education Reform. There are pros and cons to this problem, but the community says they are supporting the School Board with all decisions being made.

With most countries around the world have school systems that are at least the length of US school or longer. The benifits are much better for the students, as individuals in class can focus more on getting the grade rather than cramming. One suggestion in this case could be lengthing the time for finals - maybe two weeks rather then all in one. I am on board with the idea as people can only continue to become smarter and most knowledge based, as the media is noting that degault jobs are being increasingly sent overseas.
