  1. Ethos: Barack Obama thinks that making school days longer will increase high school graduates

    Pathos:The school day shouldn't be extended because it gets boring during a regular school day. Making the day longer would only make it worse.

    Logos: If the school day is extended, there would be more money included. School budgets will increase.

    2. Ethos: Barrack Obama thinks that making school days longer will increase high school grauduate, I believe extending school days will cause more dropouts.

      Pathos: The school day should be extended so that the students have enough time to get work done and pass more examinations, and keeping students out of streets its depressing.



      Logos: If the school day is extended, nothing will be included it will stay the same as now n just be worst.

  2. Ethos: If you can't learn what you have to learn in a timely manner, what makes you think that more time would make a difference?; school
    hours should not* be extended any further.

    Logos: "should keeps the hours and make it more active for the students to learn not being in a class room all day." (Al Simmons)

    The importance is the quality of work done, and not the time spent in a room.

    "At the same time, school administrators have tried every new pedagogical technique to address this crisis, but with minimal success****. They have experimented with redesigning curriculum, eliminating non-academic electives, increasing professional development, hiring more teachers, lengthening**** the school day, lengthening the school year, improving food services, etc." (high performance students learn quickly, second search result provided by Google) (PDF)

    Pathos: Personally I believe that extending school hours would be a macabre. I dislike the idea and believe that it should be ridiculed.

  4. Logos- The school day should not be longer. We get up at the crack of dawn just be here for 7 hours of the day. Some kids don't get enough sleep & it messes them up in the morning next day.

    Pathos- School is boring & it makes you exhausted at the end of the day. No one wants to get up for school.

    Ethos- Other students will say the same cause they have experience with class periods.

    3. I Disagree

      School should be longer because it increases our time in school and having the ability to learn even more. Obama said it himself " Now, I know longer school days and school years are not wildly popular ideas,’’ the president said earlier this year. “Not with Malia and Sasha, not in my family, and probably not in yours. But the challenges of a new century demand more time in the classroom. " His only saying this because it'll be good for us. His only helping us for the future. We all want to graduate but we all want the easy way out.

  9. Logos- The school day should not be longer. We get up at the crack of dawn just be here for 7 hours of the day. You see kids sleeping in class just because of that and they end up failing.

    Pathos- School is something you have to go through in life but its so boring somedays. No one wants to come to school.

    Ethos- Other students will say they feel the saw way. Some may not but its whats the truth.
