That our system needs to be updated. Although I don't see sending kids 230-240 days a week

The first thing that we need to get rid of are the short days and even shorter school year (based on a decades obsolete agricultural society).

There are changes that I have discussed with them, but they very strongly believe that it will only get worse with reforms. I hate to say a lot of bad things about them, but I really do wish that they had more exposure to what it looks like in other countries.

I know we can do better here.
