Yeah, because an anonymous HN commenter knows more about the state of American education than the guy who ran the company that provided American schools with leading-edge technology for the past 3 decades.
How exactly does selling computers to schools make you an expert in education.
I think it would be better to focus on making schools better rather than just telling students to spend more time at them.
Or have the students there for 40 hours a week, but ban homework. Use the extra time to get it done at school.
Then students will actually do it, and they don't have to worry about it at home anymore. Plus you don't have kids going to school for 40 hours then being expected to do an extra hour of homework at night.
