[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How did these schools do on PARCC?  [/quote]

According to one of the media stories, they had bigger gains than the traditional schedule schools. [/quote]

If that's the case, perhaps this will become a bigger trend in DC?  I'm game for whatever works!  I love the idea of having a week off in fall and I'd be willing to give up several weeks of summer vacation to make that happen!  also it does seem like this could really help the achievement gap- I understand that FARMs kids are generally "harmed" more by the long summer break than non-FARMs kids.    [/quote]

It will be interesting to see how this unfolds. I am pretty sure the WOTP schools would reject this set up vehemently, so I do hope they do this on a school-by-school basis.[/quote]

How unequal would that be!  All the extended year schools EOTP and all regular day schools WOTP?! The optics would be awful for the chancellor.[/quote]

The optics aren't really different than the way they rolled out PK3 to the most in-need / at-risk schools first.

PK3 still hasn't made it to Upper Caucasia. (Nor, for that matter, have charters.)

I would love to have summer school at our (WOTP) school -- for enrichment, not remedial. [/quote]
