[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP here and I just had the same conversation with my 8th grader. We are wondering if DC could somehow do math over the summer (weakest subject, needs LOTS of help) and thereby make the school years easier. Condensing 10 weeks into 3 doesn't sound good, but if it's a lot of hours every day maybe it is doable?[/quote] Speaking as the parent of a kid who struggles in math, more hours per day wouldn't help my child at all. My kid needs a manageable amount of content followed by some time for their brain to digest the information, practice the skills, etc. More hours would just be more content and more frustration, leading to less practice and less mastery.
