[quote=Anonymous]When I was in school only the last couple days were for fun. In AP classes, after the AP test, we would dive into one topic for a few weeks. For example, for AP US history we would go back and spend a couple weeks focused on something fun like Woodstock. But we would still be reading, writing and analyzing. My kids are in middle school and some kids are so far behind this really seems like a missed opportunity to not be doing more reading and writing (and not just reading on their own but reading and discussing as a group). My kids school also does essentially no teaching on half days so overall there are a lot of days when essentially no learning is going on. this is why I am OK with starting school earlier, since the last couple weeks are pretty much a waste.
