[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

You’re not reading closely enough. The “additional instruction” would come from the other consideration of adding increased days this summer. Summer school.

Year round schooling itself is not additional instruction. It’s the same days spread differently designed to prevent summer slide and increase learning momentum and info retention [/quote]

+1, he was sharing two different ideas.[/quote]
