[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My idea is more year-around schools, [b]mostly play-learning in the summer. Parents pay small tuition for the summer time.[/b] I already pay for summer care, so why not pay a few teachers interested in extra pay?[/quote]

Isn't that day care?[/quote]

I read it as the being more in line of an academic summer camp. So, no grading or testing, but imparting knowledge and teaching content in more innovative ways like field trips and interesting projects etc. More hands-on learning.  I think we need to not have long summer breaks, instead have a break of two weeks after every quarter.  This will allow kids to make up on content they did not understand or missed etc.

I'm all in favor of eliminating summer vacation and replacing it with shorter breaks throughout the year, but having parents pay tuition for the summer session is counterproductive.  Poorer kids aren't going to get to go, even though they are the ones for whom it will do the most good.  [/quote]
