俄亥俄州提议增加青少年的上学时间,以促进学习,引发与教师工会的辩论。 Ohio proposes increasing school hours for teens to boost learning, sparking debate with teacher unions.

俄亥俄州立法者正在提出一项法案,将7至12年级的教学时数从每学年1 001小时提高到1 054小时。 Ohio lawmakers are proposing a bill that would increase instructional hours for grades 7 to 12 from 1,001 to 1,054 hours per school year. 增加的时数是为了改善学术成果和解决这一流行病造成的学习损失。 The additional hours are meant to improve academic outcomes and address learning loss from the pandemic. 然而,教师工会对这项提议是一项没有经费的任务感到关切。 However, teacher unions are concerned about the proposal being an unfunded mandate. 该法案让个别地区决定如何增加课时,要么延长上课日,要么延长学年。 The bill leaves it up to individual districts to decide how to add the hours, either by extending the school day or lengthening the school year.
