[quote=Anonymous]Summer is one of the causes of academic achievement gap between lower and middle/upper middle classes and not because of worksheets. Kids with educated, well-resourced parents are more likely to have enriching experiences: museums, interesting camps, reflective conversations, time to explore interests. They experience a summer gain rather than a summer slide (although it may take them time to get back into the routine of school). Whereas lower SES kids whose families don't have the spare money/time/access to opportunities experience the summer slide. One of the arguments for year round school has been to create a more even experience due to this gap.[/quote]
