[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's 11.8 weeks. Not 11 weeks. The summer will be almost 2 full weeks longer. It's not one week longer. [/quote] This year because there were so few snow days used last year. On average, the school year is 3 days longer than last year, due to snow days. The average difference is 6 days, not 9 days. Nonetheless, there is still no documented evidence that 10 weeks vs 12 weeks is significant or takes longer to recover from. If it takes the same amount of time to recover the lost knowledge from summer slide after 12 weeks vs 10 weeks, why is it so important to counter the schedule change?[/quote] It would be much better for kids if the summer was significantly shorter, say 6 weeks. But since we can't have 6 weeks, it would be better to have 10 weeks instead of 12. [/quote]
