[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is this a ridiculous policy? I do 't get it. Personally we love the longer summer. If you don't like it, then put your kid in an academic camp or something. It's nice to have that long break. We always started after Labor Day when I was growing up in NY. [/quote] Retention of academic learning is why it's a ridiculous policy. Studies show that longer summer breaks = less retention of learning. An equal number of shorter breaks throughout the school year = more retention. That is why some school districts go to "year round" school. [/quote] If we would have started on Aug 28th this year, we would have had off for Sept 1st Eid and it would have shortened the summer by a whopping 4 days. Please just stop. And it is not the public school's job to make sure kids retain their learning year round. It is the PARENTS. The fact that people think only a public school should be teaching a child is what is sad these days. [/quote]
