[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It worth trying for the next few years to try and remediate the loss of 1.5 years of school. Desperate times call for desperate measures.[/quote]

This is not to build in more time to catch up or deliver mediation, this is just a full year schedule so the breaks would be built into other times of the year.[/quote]

No--this is specifically to catch up. That's exactly what all the press on this is saying.

Governor Ralph North announced Wednesday the possibility of year-round school [b]to help offset the loss of learning[/b] because of the pandemic.

I do think it is critical to provide [b]additional instruction[/b] to our students next year, and a year-round schedule is one way to approach that. (Richmond Superintendent)

The direct quote from Northam:

“Our children have suffered from COVID-19, as has our families,” Northam said. “One of the things we are entertaining is perhaps year-round schooling for the next year. Perhaps adding increased days this summer. To really help our kids get caught up.”[/quote]
