[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Melt and learning loss are much worse the longer summers are, it’s not really a question. If you don’t supplement or maintain at all- and let’s be honest here most dc families do not, for various reasons- kids who are on average pretty far behind only fall further behind. Shorter summers are just much better for kids unless you think you- the parent- add more educational value than a school. [/quote] Fall behind what though? The majority of kids have summer break and the majority aren't supplementing over the summer- even private school kids. They are all in the same boat. Everybody loses a little and they get it back. [/quote] +1. And the kids doing great are fine. It’s no secret that teachers spend the 1st few weeks of school reviewing stuff before moving to new material so it’s not like there’s no review.
