Ending Summer Vacation is Long Overdue Here s How to Pay for a Longer School Year Brookings Institution
Would you be in favor of extending the school day and ending Summer vacation?
I oppose this. I'd hate to take away awesome experiences away in the name of increasing test scores.
There are awesome after school activities. For example.
Cadets
Competitive cheerleading
Who would want to rob our youth of these amazing opportunities?
No!
And you will not find teachers backing an increase in teaching days without an increase in pay.
They like their summers, and they like the opportunity to work at other jobs in the summer, while receiving a full year's salary for teaching.
