It's the Bloggity!: Obama Makes My Brain Hurt

So today, I opened my internet browser like I do everyday when I want to get on the internet. It opened up to my homepage, MSN, and I saw a featured article about President Obama's plan to reform the school system. Curiously, I clicked on the link and watched a little part of the video and then read the article about what the President planned to do. I was surprised and discouraged to find out he wanted to lengthen the school year.

Honestly, this plan is bull and I'm not just saying that because I'm in high school. Obama wants to reform, reform, and reform and I understand that that might be something America needs but America is already in debt of trillions and trillions of dollars yet the president continues to spend money on things he think we need to reform but why must he try to do so many things at once. It's making it harder for himself and for Americans because if he does follow through with this plan, we, the American people, are going to have to pay it back in taxes in hopes that this plan "might" improve the school systems yet we still have to pay back all those other foreign countries, raising the taxes even more. President Obama once said that our economy was in a ditch. How are we suppose to get out of the ditch if all you do is tax us to the point where the government still broke and the people are even more broke.

In the article, a school class in Connecticut was asked what they thought about President Obama's plan and a statement was released saying that most of the children thought their brains need to rest over the summertime. President Obama hasn't been taught in a classroom for more than 20 years so why is he acting like he knows all teacher's don't give out a lot of homework and some students aren't taking AP classes. Not to mention, summer break is a time where the student and teacher can have some freedom. In addition, he acts like all children are dumb and need more school but there not all like that. He shouldn't try to make this a law because we have more important things to worry about in America. Why doesn't he talk about how we are going to get out of this recession not how we're going to punish the smart kids because the other kids are dumb and don't listen. Why doesn't he just make it a law that we have to go to school 365 days a year! There's only so much a child can learn until their brain explodes and it's quite obvious the President doesn't know that limit.
