Well, if they don't need as much time in the classroom then they won't need as much time in college, so, that ought to save their parents lots of money. Or, maybe that isn't how it works?
No, try reading my comment. I said that they spend just as much time in the classroom.

Family and the impact that two parents have on their children will produce better-educated student. I don't think to pay teachers more money equates to a better-educated child. For the most part, the teachers have July and August off and two breaks each a week long.
That's a tired old myth. Teachers work long weeks during the school year, often have to spend summers maintaining their certification (unless they are in private or charter schools that don't require certification), and their pay is based on 9 months, just spread out over 12. They are underpaid for their skill level and education.

Many 16 year olds show better knowledge of actual facts than the supporters of the current president.

Privatization of schools is just another way for the private sector to divert money from the educational effort into the pockets of the capitalists. Charter schools pay big bucks to big business for curriculum. Those businesses make the decisions about what is taught and how, and it's mostly conservative thought. DeVos is pushing for more money to be diverted into big business, doesn't care about actual education.

"Hey; let's have our kids spend less time in the classroom..." Is it just me or is this trend kinda going in the wrong direction just for the sake of convenience or to save a few bucks? Can someone explain how this improves our kids' educational levels?
Reading the article, I note that there is just as much time spent in the classroom.

Follow Route 1, look for side trips. Jump onto I-95 to skip over parts that don't look too interesting. Be prepared for lots of traffic.
