[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] LOL! Do you actually think 2 weeks less of summer is going to make any dent in the big picture of the kids who are way behind? Nope. You know what will? Having more accountability and consequences for all the high truancy rates for kids missing 40 plus days of school during the school year every year. [/quote]
