[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]10-12 hours of academic work for 180 days provides serious remediation. More effort yields more results.[/quote] Not really. All public schoolchildren have 180 days (except those at Haynes who have a year-round program). The average schoolday is 7.5 hours. So, you're suggesting that if you take a child who is 3 years below grade level and stick him in a room for another 2.5 hours at the end of the day for tutoring, (minus recess and PE right? because that's not "academic instruction") that he'll be up to speed in no time. Clearly you know nothing about education, and it doesn't sound like you even know much about children.[/quote]
