In plenty and in time of need When this fair land was young Our brave forefathers sowed the seed From which our pride was sprung A pride that makes no wanton boast Of what it has withstood That binds our hearts from coast to coast The pride of nationhood
Chorus: We loyal sons and daughters all Do hereby make it known These fields and hills beyond recall Are now our very own We write our names on history's page With expectations great Strict guardians of our heritage Firm craftsmen of our fate
The Lord has been the people's guide For past three hundred years. With Him still on the people's side We have no doubts or fears. Upward and onward we shall go, Inspired, exalting, free, And greater will our nation grow In strength and unity.

American public schools "have held time constant and let learning vary," the commission found, adding that the typical school year -- 180 six-hour days, with classes lasting an average of 51 minutes -- is too time bound for good teaching and learning, especially in core academic subjects.
Time is relative to other school reform factors, such as high expectations for students and high professional standards for teachers, the commission said.
During academic learning time, he explained, students are attending to academic work related to outcomes for the subject they're studying and are successfully completing their assigned work.
