  2. The author uses President Obama and Arne Duncan as experts. They say that there should be school six, seven days a week. Or 11 to 12 months a year.

  7. Sorry, my last comment left something out. The experts say that year-round school will help kids excel in school and have called the traditional school year "outdated and inadequate for the demands of 21st century life."

  9. The experts were Obama and Arne Duncan. They said that the "normal" school and also that schools should be all year round so that kids can get a better education.

  10. The author says that both Obama and Arne Duncan had stated in earlier references that they think a traditional school year is "outdated and inadequate for the demands of the 21st century life." She specifically quotes Duncan for saying that he think school should be open almost every single day...no breaks.

  16. The experts that the author uses to supprot her argument were President Obama and Arne Duncan. They said "the traditional school day and school year outdated and inadequate for the demands of 21st-century life. Students in countries that routinely outscore the United States on international tests go to school for as many as 230 days each year, 50 more than kids typically attend here."
