They dont need longer school years, they just need better curriculum. Kids havent gotten stupid over night in the US, is the poor teaching abilities supported by shitty lessons. My last years of school were all just reading out of a textbook and then having a test on what I read - couldnt I have just dont that at home?
Lack of classroom activity creates school boredom creates lack of motivation creates a ton of a other problems, mostly being dropping out of school.
The lack of a federal curriculum is partly the cause of that. Why should states have different lesson plans? It's supposed to be preparing you for the same world, so the same lesson plan should be applied.
