WERE SAVED BUT THE PRESIDENT WENT THE WRONG WAY
We don’t need longer school days or longer school years. What we do need is bigger faster computers and the highest speed internet that exists on each and every desk. The kids have a huge lead in this training cycle they have been doing it at home for years, and yes the price they pay is fat butts. The computer playing kids of today will become the drone pilots of tomorrow and the robot fighter controllers the military is talking about. They envision a pilotless airforce by 2050 which means they will start to ramp up soon.
So the kids aren’t as dumb as we thought they are training themselves for the jobs of the future so I guess I will have to stop complaining about all the time they spend in front of computers, Tweeting, or Facebooking. What they are building is the communication network military wise of the future. Tweetesr on the ground sending bombing instructions back to their trailers, their Face Book contacts will give them contacts world wide and the controllers will plop their fat butts in the chairs in front of their computers and GAME ON! (control trailers rock viciously in the wind the fat butts will keep them in their chairs) So quit picking on the kids they are the patriots of the Future.

Hey! That sounds like a good recruitment commercial. We’ll tell them they get to play video games, but we’ll put their boots on the ground in Afghanistan, cause that war will still be going on by the time they grow up.
