When U.S. President Barack Obama said that the challenges of a new century demand more time in the classroom, he intended to say that U.S. schoolchildren don't spend enough time in the classroom. Obama believes that this puts them at a disadvantage when compared to schoolchildren in other countries. Obama is lucky that most schoolchildren are too young to vote, as they would not likely reelect a man who supports more time in school and shorter summer vacations, with children staying in school almost until suppertime and enjoying only eight weeks’ break over the summer instead of the 10 weeks U.S. schoolchildren currently enjoy. If schooling is measured in terms of instructional hours per year, U.S. students receive more than many students in Asia. While U.S. children spend 1146 hours in the classroom per school year, children in Singapore, Japan and Hong Kong officially spend 903,1,1005 and 1,013 hours in the classroom, respectively. Taiwan outpaces those three with a score of 1,050 hours spent in formal schools, but that is still nearly 100 fewer hours than that of the U.S.

(A) Giving schoolchildren more challenges»

(C) Changing classroom instruction.

當美國總統巴拉克奧巴馬說新世紀的挑戰需要更多時間在課堂上時，他打算說美國學童沒有在課堂上花足夠的時間。奧巴馬認為，與其他國家的學童相比，這使他們處於劣勢。 奧巴馬很幸運，大多數學童都太年輕，無法投票，因為他們不太可能重新選擇一個支持更多學習時間和更短的暑假的男人，孩子們在學校上學幾乎到了晚上，而且夏天只有八週的休息時間。美國學齡兒童目前享受的10週時間。 如果按每年的教學時數衡量學校教育，美國學生在亞洲接收的學生人數超過許多。雖然美國兒童每學年在課堂上花費1146小時，但新加坡，日本和香港的兒童在教室中正式分別花費903， 1,1005和1013小時。台灣在正規學校花了1050個小時的...
