[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Look at the research around the summer slide- low income kids lose so much knowledge compared to their peers. It's definitel a problem at home.[/quote] What is summer slide?[/quote] The amount of progress students lose over the summer. I think it was in "Outliers" that I read how with wealthier children over the summer they had more activities, camps, and reading materials available so the progress lost over the summer was minimized. Poorer children have less access to things like these, so they backslide a lot more. The effect winds up being cumulative with each summer break, so less affluent kids wind up getting further and further behind.[/quote]
