NJ wants to change school starting hour to 8:30 BUT I see nothing about extending closing hour.. Compared to most other developed countries..NJ Public Educators don't fare very well. They train kids NOT to think for themselves but to believe whatever nonsense they are given.Developed countries around the world are doing much better job of educating their kids and their kids spend many more hours in school learning. College acceptance rates in good schools is much higher for better educated foreign students .NJ education is led by teacher unions
