What is your opinion on summer learning loss? Is it real and impactful or just a meme created to give students more homework?
Smart kids will always be smart and the dummies will always be dummies. There has never, ever, EVER been one single dummy who became smart because of a good teacher's influence. So yeah, "summer learning loss" is not anything worth being treated seriously.
>>16902607Might as well abolish any form of holidays or weekends, so forcing students into permanent work readiness since this has become normal in some parts of the economy.Isn't it wonderful to get up at 6 in the morning because of a group meeting with your boss where you spend the first 10 minutes warming up, then repeating your company's motto only for it to end in meaningless babbling because your boss is a retard?
The elementary school in a shitty area I lived in experimented with year around school. It was something like six weeks of instruction followed by a two week break. Students who fell behind during the six weeks would attend class during the two week break in order to catch up with the rest of the class. The school claimed it had great results but this was around the time of a massive cheating scandal in the school system, so it's difficult to know if the six on/two off system worked well or not.In theory, it sounds like a good system as it keeps students from falling a whole year behind if they fail something but students who are slower learners pretty much never get a break.
If someone loses a skill in 2-3 months, they never had that skill to begin with.
>>16902607Why do they insist on having schools replace good parenting? If their families and environments are good at motivating the kids or at letting them learn, the kids will do well; of they aren't, the kids will suck anyway. Let kids AND the teachers have a rest, FFS.
