Sorry kids, President Obama wants to extend the school year by a month.
“That month makes a difference,” the President said Monday in an appearance on the “Today” show.
And while “that’s going to cost some money,” he said, “that would be money well spent.”
Obama’s interview kicked off a special NBC News series on education.
“There’s nothing more important than the issue we’re talking about today,” he said.
