[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] The answer is universal pre-k, late school closing and year round school. Any gap in the school schedule is an opportunity for parents to widen the socio - economic and racial gap for their own kids by supplementing privately. There shouldn’t be that gap in the system:[/quote]
+1 In lower performing schools, this is what is needed.  You need more time with those kids.

I believe there are two MCPS ES with high FARMS rate where they are experimenting with a lengthened school calendar. Not sure how long this has been happening. Will be interesting to see the outcome.[/quote]

they tried the longer schedule in DC and it didn’t work.

I think until we realize the point is to make kids grind, longer days/years will not help.

classroom discipline is also a huge issue. we need to have a much shorter fuse for sending disruptive kids to alternative placements. or if not, more “gifted” programs to airlift the kids on/above grade level out of the bad schools. [/quote]
