More school or better school?

A common choice you encounter in daily life is quality or quantity. Which do you prefer or is something distinctively better because of a certain reason. These are valid points, and when dealing with quality or quantity of school time, it's very important. On one hand, having more school days to learn better is good. On the other, having better school days allows more learning is good as well. Yet, people seem to think this is an impossible compromise. The issue of do American students need more time in school is quite incorrect, time isn't the real issue here. The real issue is the teaching that is occurring and if it is ample. I agree with the negative side on this argument only for one simple reason, time is not the main issue. Many schools have standard school schedules and work fine. The main point that the pro side brings up is an impoverished middle school that performed better because of increased time. Yet also, they do not bring up the fact that better teach was probably implemented to assist the increase in time. Also, this is only one small group of students in one state, not an overwhelming amount of pure increase statewide. These changes can't be done on a large scale because of many reasons, but the teaching time does not change that drastically. The main reason why the con side is better is because they deal with better teaching, not more. The points they bring up will not overburden and overload students with information, just give them more accurate dosages of it. A block style teaching system works wonders, I myself have dealt with it before. Along with this, pro side brings up many different arguments regarding extra time outside of school and more in school. The impoverished middle school students of MA probably never had much of any after school activity and other extra curricular activities. This is due possibly to the area they live in and the lack of support the school probably had before. After getting more attention and had studies done on it with more money, of course it will work better. But the question still is if the quality increased or if its just quantity. If you give students more teaching time they should increase across all boards. The same would happen if teaching quality increased. With better teaching, more accurate timing and a little perseverance, quality can go a long way. The pro side brought up valid reasons why more time is good, but the same could be solved with better time. With this, better time has similar effects as more time in essence, with no increase in money spent and relatively similar schedules. Changing whole school schedules is cumbersome and difficult and will have many issues, as was said in the pro side. Changing internal time of standard days and increasing the potency of teaching/teachers should give similar results. I am no professional, but I would rather have better teaching for a short amount of time than long periods with a poor teaching schedule. I feel this argument is flawed overall because the increase of both time and teaching potency would be leagues better. Having a all year school schedule would be a pain, but you would learn more hopefully. But who has the time or money for year round schooling? Not me...
