I just read where NJ Legislators want to change school start time to 8:30 BUT I cannot find any reference to the school closing time so assume it will be the same. Just more evidence of lowering the NJ educational standards. What ever happen to 8 hour school days? .My bet is this is for the benefit of overpaid Supts,Principals and the excessive vice principals and has nothing to do with kids..US public education is a joke when you compare it to public education in Japan,Korea,and even China..This is what you get with unionized educators. Kids are secondary when considering educating
