Extra Credit!

Posted: 09:56 PM ET

Well, I can't promise your teacher will give you extra credit if you watch our new segment on Sunday morning...  But I hope he/she does, because I think you deserve it if you get up at 8:35 to see yours truly.

The details:  "Extra Credit," CNN Sunday Morning, at (or just after) 8:35 a.m. ET.  I'll be talking about YOU, recapping some of your blog comments and mentioning a couple of classes live on CNN (not HLN, where our regular show airs).

Hope you get the chance to check it out!  If you do, please let us know what you think.  And have a great weekend.

Carl Azuz, Anchor

Note to readers:  A couple of you asked whether the Extra Credit segment would be posted online.  You can now view one of our special reports by clicking right here.  Enjoy!

I don't think we should have longer school days because we have to also do homework and afterschool activities so we have a life!

Campbell   March 13th, 2009 1:21 am ET

COOL!!!

Crystal   March 13th, 2009 1:40 am ET

Cool! Hopefully my comment is on there! If you are going to post my comment, please put the one about the school.

Xavier   March 13th, 2009 2:41 am ET

I really do hope my comments get on the show. Hey, Carl. Do they post Extra Credit on CNN Video Homepage, because I haven't got time to watch TV at 8:35. If they do, please inform me at this blog so as to let me know.

(Don't post THIS comment on your show!)

p.s. cows rock and so does cnn student news!

zac   March 13th, 2009 10:42 am ET

longer school days!!!! Thats like taking away chocolate from the world..... and thats bad!!!! I think their is somthing wrong with Oboma because if he makes school days longer he is going to have every kid in America mad at him.

Carlos   March 13th, 2009 11:39 am ET

I will check it out.

Crystal   March 13th, 2009 12:31 pm ET

It is kinda true that people are getting kinda dumb these days. So maybe being in school longer is better.

stefan   March 13th, 2009 12:46 pm ET

i think teahers should give more extra credit.because some of us deserve it.

Anonymous   March 13th, 2009 12:47 pm ET

I think that the people who really worked hard deserve extra credit some people really dont do much in school.It would be really cool if teachers would hand out more extra credit.

Elenna   March 13th, 2009 12:48 pm ET

s:man   March 13th, 2009 12:54 pm ET

i think some students deserve it because some students work really hard and some students just slack off in school so it would be sweet that teachers give more extra credit

Kaitlyn   March 13th, 2009 1:06 pm ET

I think so because sometimes we turn stuff in on time and also we do what we are told to do .

Megz   March 13th, 2009 1:20 pm ET

I think that all the teachers should give you extra credit if you do extra things for school on the weekend. If you don't get extra credit that stinks because its like doing homework on the weekends. Some of our teachers may be asking for us to do the extra credit on the weekend.

grayson   March 13th, 2009 2:40 pm ET

i think we should get extra credit. i mean we woke up early on a sunday. that in it's self deservies it.

Carl   March 13th, 2009 3:04 pm ET

Student news is great, we do need extra credit

Hannah   March 13th, 2009 3:07 pm ET

This is the first time I've writen to you. PLEASE do a shout out to my school. Mr. Hodgson's class. LOVE your show. Bye. :-)

Lizzie   March 13th, 2009 4:52 pm ET

I would totally get up but I have to go to my other house!!

XD I don't have a computer or TV there!! *tear*

Sierra   March 13th, 2009 7:22 pm ET

Cool i want extra credit.

Airena   March 13th, 2009 7:49 pm ET

I wanna comment as a South Korean. Mr.Obama, don't do that!!!! Longer school days will ruin student's sleeping rights.

Tiffany   March 13th, 2009 10:39 pm ET

8:35 a.m? that's not early at all. most ppl here gets up at 5:00

bridget :)   March 13th, 2009 11:54 pm ET

I would like to get up and watch it. I hope i get extra credit because I am cool and I deserve it very much.

Matthew   March 14th, 2009 1:32 am ET

Hey Carl it's Matt ...people get paid over time so I say why not get extra credit for work you do at home during non-school hours

lyra   March 14th, 2009 9:41 am ET

hey that means more school time! I don't agree.
this is not very good.
I hope this will not come true

aspen   March 14th, 2009 11:50 am ET

i know, i agree. extra credit for it. but, i mean. yeah. lmao. – carl's amazing, aside from the jokes at the end of every show...

Jhane'   March 14th, 2009 1:33 pm ET

Well me personally I think that some students might need the extra time in school to prepare for whatever they might wanna acomplish in life. But on the other hand we really don't need extra time in school if we use our time wisely.

Zack   March 14th, 2009 4:03 pm ET

we should not have more time at school because it just gets plain boring except for some things it would be both good and bad

Southside stepper ♥   March 14th, 2009 5:25 pm ET

i will promise that i will watch it! i watch your show everyday! I LOVE CNN STUDENT NEWS! Your puns are sooo punny! i comment a lot on the blogs and my math teacher says i will get extra credit if one ends up on air! dont let me down carl!

jason   March 14th, 2009 6:06 pm ET

this is fun man!

Tay   March 14th, 2009 7:57 pm ET

That is so cool. I hope my comment is on there!!! U rock, Mrs. Fro!
U too Carl!!!

Shahob   March 14th, 2009 8:05 pm ET

my comments never get posted :( anyways what i think about president obama's new statement for longer school days is probably not what the us students would want but it would help our education get alot better for the future of America. Oh and Carl you got some pretty good jokes.

-Shahob

Juniper   March 14th, 2009 8:24 pm ET

I guess I got up a little to early. I woke up at 7:30 because I set my alarm clock at the wrong time. I hope it's worth it.

Juniper   March 14th, 2009 8:25 pm ET

Uh oh. wrong day!

Ashley   March 15th, 2009 4:32 am ET

I think it's would be great to get extra credit because it really deserves for students who work very hard.

DAVE   March 15th, 2009 7:02 am ET

Well Carl I didn't know that you were coming on the news sunday... can you tell me Carl of how can I sign up for your email letter.

May   March 15th, 2009 9:03 am ET

Why isn't this...Extra credit(?) up yet It's posted on cnn student news right?

May   March 15th, 2009 9:04 am ET

I think I'll just go back to sleep. I'm tired!

Bill   March 15th, 2009 11:13 am ET

I think that if we have more time at school we should be doing homework during that extra time. it makes no sense, maybe Obama should see how his daughters feel about it!!!

Josh   March 15th, 2009 5:24 pm ET

Carl enough with the terrible puns already

Shania   March 15th, 2009 8:57 pm ET

That would be totally cool but, some people probably cant get on because their parents arent home or theyre just to busy. A lot of my friends are and so am I. But I could probably get on Cnn and watch Carl. You totally rock.

Haley   March 15th, 2009 9:36 pm ET

This could cause problems with students, especially with the unmotivated. I mean, half the kids don't want to come to school in the first place, so why would they want to stay later? Although this could help students and teachers finish homework and fun lesson plans, you have to think about the students who are struggling outside of school. Many have a part-time job (some even two) and they are working them to help support themselves and their families.

Bob   March 15th, 2009 11:55 pm ET

You got to be kidding thats crazy to make school longer!

P.S. Try working on your puns Carl.

brandy   March 16th, 2009 12:10 am ET

That is so cool and ridonculos!!

Raja   March 16th, 2009 6:46 am ET

I think that we should get extra credit to watch your show on Sunday. If we are able to get up on Sunday and watch your show then we really should. If we did this we would have to find a way to prove that we actually watch it.

Anonymous   March 16th, 2009 7:54 am ET

I really liked the rapping flight attendant he was cool he reminds me of charles at my school. ~sydney

Autumn   March 16th, 2009 9:40 am ET

I wish people would have more school so we are ready for the CRCT and the next grade so we can pass and have a great life.plus we would love for teachers to have extra money if they work better is so far!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

nick   March 16th, 2009 9:41 am ET

i really dont think we need more time in school im learning enough with all the time we already have plus im a junior and if we did have more time it would only effect me for one year but i dont want that either

jessica   March 16th, 2009 10:16 am ET

YES

ALEX   March 16th, 2009 3:19 pm ET

no i do not think we need any more time in school because with all of the stress of school extra activitys.

kelly   March 16th, 2009 9:46 pm ET

it would be nice to have extea credit some times (please tell that to our teachers) but if you give to much then people are going to be more "teacher's pets"/spoiled.

S@die   March 17th, 2009 1:18 pm ET

Yay me I get Extra Extra credit.

Xavier   March 18th, 2009 8:45 am ET

THis is no FUN! What the heck was the point of it? Just talking a lot and then end with only TWO COMMENTS? It's cruel these days Carl. It's cruel these days...
(Why wonder why my comments never get on the show Or Extra Credit...)

Isaac   March 20th, 2009 6:47 pm ET

Jazmine   March 22nd, 2009 9:20 pm ET

-I think more time is needed at school because when some kids get home there is no home. School is their home.

Selma   March 30th, 2009 2:46 pm ET

I think it's great that their is going to be more news. I lbeing in the loop and knowing what's going on in the world. I'm exited to see what you have planned for us

marisabela   March 31st, 2009 5:51 pm ET

School can be good at times, but sometimes it is a pain in the behind.

Chilton   March 31st, 2009 8:31 pm ET
