[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did the extra school days result in better academic performance? If yes, then it's worth it. Cut central office spending, maybe don't keep hiring expensive consultants to do useless audits like the racism audit.  You know what would help poor black/brown kids more than a racist audit?  Better and more instruction.

If it isn't working, then cut it. Waste of money, like the racism audit.[/quote]

Can you people please read? It's in the quoted excerpt in this thread if you're too lazy to click the link.[/quote]

For those wondering if the full-year calendar netted out in any improvement in learning:

[QUOTE]The cut to the Nix program comes after an evaluation released by [b]the Montgomery school system in August found that despite the extra days in the classroom, the program “did not have a detectable effect on student reading and mathematics performance by year end.”[/b] Several parents and teachers at Nix began speaking out against the program, referring to that finding from the evaluation. The evaluation recommended that the program remain intact for another year.

Parents at Arcola Elementary School, meanwhile, advocated keeping the program.[/QUOTE][/quote]
