. >> you know, governor bredeson, from my entire adult life since i left public school system in high i have heard about a couple of reforms that everybody's still talking about and the president today. yearlong or extended school years. perhaps mandatory 13th and 14th grade, some form of it. and neither one has happened. we see sometimes in an experiment here or there. but you've been in office for eight years. you were a mayor before that in nashville. why is it that these reforms, which, frankly, some of them called for for a generation now, still cannot be implemented on a large scale? >> well, i mean, i'd be somebody in the long term, i certainly think what the president said this morning was right to extend the school year and other countries are doing it more. but i think even more important than that, we need to get right what we're doing during the time we have the children and there's a lot of work to be done in that area, as well. i don't think that putting the money into simply extend the school year is the right thing to do. may be a great follow-on getting much more effe
