Am Opinion on a Longer Schoolday

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/opinion/editorials/ct-edit-schools-20110918,0,3949554.story

 An editorialist of the Chicago Tribune commends 5 elementary schools in Chicago at having voted for making the school day 90 minutes longer and for wanting to make the change immediately. This, the writer says, will help the kids get a better education. The Chicago Teachers Union (CTU) should not be trying to reverse the votes, the reporter notes, as the teachers and principles of the schools have already agreed to the deal, which includes a 2% raise and $75,000-150,000 for the school.
