[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]longer year would be great--let's join the rest of the industrialized world with a non-agricultural school year and hopefully higher PISA scores.[/quote] Having been educated in Europe, let me say that the main difference is not year length per se, but the breadth and depth of the curriculum. Every year (that I recall) we had 6 or more subjects, including things like history or science or religion/ ethics. If DCPS is planning to have a similarly rigorous and challenging curriculum, THEN we may catch up with the rest of the industrialized world. Has anyone seen any specific proposal about what DCPS would do with 10-20 extra days a year?[/quote]
