[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parent to two Elementary schools kids. Yes to longer year. Research shows long summer break not good for academics. [b]Use extra time to for more arts, language and outdoor Ed[/b]. [/quote]

DCPS has not provided any information regarding how that extra time will be spent. Your child could very well be sitting in a classroom even longer, doing worksheets and prepping for more standardized testing. If DCPS isn't going to offer a curriculum with more arts and outdoor activities, then I'd rather pay for summer camps that offer those activities.

Then take the survey already and specify how you want that time to be spent. If you say nothing, your child will be doing worksheets all day. DCPS is not providing any information on how time will be spent because they are seeking FEEDBACK from the survey.[/quote]

What is the test prep and worksheets you speak of. DC has been at DCPS for 4 years and I haven't seen any of this. Survey specifically asks what you would like to see in a longer school year and suggests language, arts etc.  [/quote]
